The Chapters on Gifts

Sunan Ibn Mājah 2384

إِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي عَطِيَّتِهِ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ فَأَكَلَهُ

inna mathala adh-dhī yaʿūdu fī ʿaṭiyyatihi kamathali al-kalbi akala ḥattā idhā shabiʿa qāʾa thumma ʿāda fī qayʾihi fa-akalah
