Muwatta Malik #1536
Judgements
Malik related to me from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn from Abu Ghatafan
ibn Tarif al-Muriyi that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "If someone gives a
gift to strengthen ties with a relative or as sadaqa, he cannot have
it returned. If some one, however, gives a gift seeking by it favour
or reward, he has his gift and can reclaim it if he does not have
satisfaction from it."
Yahya said that he heard Malik say,
"The generally agreed-on way of doing things in our community is that
if the gift is returned to the one who gave it for recompense, and its
value has been either increased or decreased, the one to whom it has
been given gives the owner its value on the day he received it."
