The Book of Gifts
Sunan an-Nasā'ī 3690
لاَ يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا إِلاَّ الْوَالِدَ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ
lā yaḥillu lirajulin yuʿṭī ʿaṭiyyatan thumma yarjiʿu fīhā illā al-wālida fīmā yuʿṭī waladah wamathalu adh-dhī yuʿṭī ʿaṭiyyatan thumma yarjiʿu fīhā kamathali al-kalbi akala ḥattā idhā shabiʿa qāʾa thumma ʿāda fī qayʾihi

The full narration
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas, who attributed the Hadith to the Prophet:"It is not permissible for a man to give a gift and then take it back except a father taking back what he gave to his son. The likeness of the one who gives a gift then takes it back is that of the dog which eats until it is full, then it vomits, and goes back to its vomit
