The Book of Gifts
Sunan an-Nasā'ī 3703
لاَ يَحِلُّ لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الْعَطِيَّةَ فَيَرْجِعَ فِيهَا إِلاَّ الْوَالِدَ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْعَطِيَّةَ فَيَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَالْكَلْبِ يَأْكُلُ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَرَجَعَ فِي قَيْئِهِ
lā yaḥillu lʾaḥadin an yuʿṭiya al-ʿaṭiyyaha fayarjiʿa fīhā illā al-wālida fīmā yuʿṭī waladah wamathalu adh-dhī yuʿṭī al-ʿaṭiyyaha fayarjiʿu fīhā ka-l-kalbi yaʾkulu ḥattā idhā shabiʿa qāʾa thumma ʿāda farajaʿa fī qayʾihi

The full narration
It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from Tawus, from Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas, that they said:"The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is not permissible for anyone to give a gift then take it back, except a father with regard to what he gives to his son. The likeness of the one who gives a gift then takes it back, is that of the dog which eats then when it is full it vomits, then it goes back to its vomit
