Hadith 866
۞
Hadith.4080 - It is narrated from Isa ibn Ayan, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who gave a gift to another man, hoping for a return, but the recipient did not reciprocate until he passed away. The giver then found his gift in its original form.
I asked: "Is it permissible for him to take it back if he is able to?"
Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in taking it."
4080 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَجُلٍ هَدِيَّةً وَ هُوَ يَرْجُو ثَوَابَهَا فَلَمْ يُثِبْهُ صَاحِبُهَا حَتَّى هَلَكَ وَ أَصَابَ اَلرَّجُلُ هَدِيَّتَهُ بِعَيْنِهَا أَ لَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا إِنْ قَدِرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ".
