3- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَةُ مُحْدَثَةٌ إِنَّمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَنْحَلُونَ وَيَهَبُونَ وَلا يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ أَعْطَى للهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَيْئاً أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهِ قَالَ وَمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ للهِ وَفِي اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُرْجَعُ فِيهِ نِحْلَةً كَانَتْ أَوْ هِبَةً حِيزَتْ أَوْ لَمْ تُحَزْ وَلا يَرْجِعُ الرَّجُلُ فِيمَا يَهَبُ لامْرَأَتِهِ وَلا الْمَرْأَةُ فِيمَا تَهَبُ لِزَوْجِهَا حِيزَ أَوْ لَمْ يُحَزْ أَلَيْسَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ وَلا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئاً وَقَالَ فَإِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْساً فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً وَهَذَا يَدْخُلُ فِي الصَّدَاقِ وَالْهِبَةِ.

Translation

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has narrated the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Charity has emerged newly. In the time of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, people would give gifts and presents. It is not proper for one who has given something to Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, to take it back.’ He (the Imam) has said, ‘A gift or present, which is not given for the sake of Allah can be taken back, regardless of whether the recipient has taken possession or not. If a man gives a gift to his wife, he must not take it back; also if a wife gives something to her husband, regardless of whether he has taken possession or not. Allah, most Blessed, most High, has said, “Do not take anything that you have given to them (your wives).” (2:229) Allah has said, “If they give you out of their pleasure then you can use it in good health.” (4:4) This applies to mahr (dower) and gifts.’”
