Chapter: "Chapter on One Who Dislikes Bad Analogies" Explanation of the Hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) who said

The Shaykh : We praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our own selves and from the badness of our deeds. Whom Allah guides, none can mislead, and whom He leaves to mislead, none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.

As for what follows:
For the best of speech is the speech of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the worst of matters are their newly invented ones, and every newly invented matter is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
Our lesson today is in the ninety-sixth chapter after the hundredth
And it is the statement of the author (may Allah have mercy on him).
"Chapter on One Who Dislikes Bad Analogies".
Then he narrated with his authentic chain of narration.
From Ibn 'Abbas from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) who said .
The meaning of this hadith is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) is speaking about his Ummah (community) meaning that it is not permissible to use bad analogies about us that indicate bad morals. He asked what the bad analogy is, and he (peace be upon him) said meaning that it is not permissible for a Muslim, if he gives a gift or grants a favor or bestows a gift upon someone, to take back this gift and return it to himself after he has given it willingly. In this case, it is not permissible for this Muslim to take back what he gave to another. So the Messenger (peace be upon him) gave an analogy for this, saying that the one who does this is like a dog that returns to its vomit. And this is a very bad analogy because it contains an ugly comparison from two aspects:
The first aspect: comparing the one who takes back the gift to a dog.
And the second ugliness: that the comparison to this dog was regarding a bad action of his, which is that he returns to his vomit. And what does "returns to his vomit" mean? This is a natural matter; a human being, let alone an animal, sometimes vomits due to an illness in the stomach or because the stomach is full of more food than it can handle. In that case, he vomits. This vomiting must come out of the mouth because it is ugly in itself. And in many cases, you see some people who vomit, and a very bad smell comes out with the vomit. And sometimes, if the vomiting is severe, something impure may come out with the vomit. So even though this vomit is ugly and even though it may contain some impurity, this dog to whom the one who takes back his gift is compared returns to this vomit, meaning he swallows it, meaning he eats it again. So this is like the one who takes back the gift he gave to a person. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) compared him to a dog. And the comparison to a dog is sufficient to disparage and defame the one compared to this dog.
As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadith What does this mean? And many men, let alone women, resemble the dog during their prostration. So what is this condemned image whose owner was compared to a dog?
The Sunnah in prayer is that the Muslim, as he (peace be upon him) said "Arab" means limbs, and these limbs were mentioned by the Messenger (peace be upon him) in the same hadith. The forehead is the first limb upon which the worshipper should prostrate, every worshipper, whether male or female. The forehead, then the Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered [to include] the hand from the forehead to the nose, he indicated like this, meaning that the forehead and the nose are one limb, meaning it is not permissible to prostrate only on the forehead, but rather the forehead and the nose. So the ground must be like this, not like this. The son of Adam prostrates on seven "arab," seven limbs. The first limb is the forehead and the nose, then the two hands, making three, then the two knees, making five, then the toes of the feet. The issue now is the placement of the hands on the ground, where he (peace be upon him) said meaning that he should prostrate like this and not like this, because that is what the dog does. If you do not visualize the dog lying on the ground, what does it do? It stretches its arms on the ground, and its whole belly and its front legs are all on the ground. So this lying down and stretching of the arms is the action of the dog. So the Messenger (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade the worshipper, whether male or female, to resemble this dog in his prostration, because it is used as a bad analogy.
So if we look at this hadith , the Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade placing the arms on the ground because it involves resembling the dog. So it is even more so that a person should not take back what he gave to another as a gift, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) compared this one who takes back his gift to a dog, and not just to a dog, but to a dog that returns to its vomit. So the thing he vomited up, what does he do? He swallows it. So here there is a vile comparison from two aspects:
The first aspect: that he compared the one who takes back his gift to a dog.
And the other aspect: that he compared him to an action of the dog, which is not only an action of the dog, but is vile in itself, because if a human being were to return to his vomit, it would be a defect. So how is it that he compares the one who takes back his gift to a dog that returns to its vomit?
So the point of this is that al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) placed this chapter "Chapter on One Who Dislikes Bad Analogies"
Meaning that the Muslim must have a good example, not a bad example .
So this hadith provides us with a jurisprudential benefit, which is that it is forbidden for a Muslim to take back a gift he gave to another. It is forbidden for a Muslim to take back a gift he gave to another, whether this gift is valuable or insignificant. Meaning, if a person gives an orange or an apricot or something else to another, it is not permissible for him to take it back. In that case, he is like a dog that returns to its vomit. He gave something more than that, so it is even more so that it is not permissible for him to take it back. So the prohibition is derived from this comparison which we explained to you: "like a dog that returns to its vomit." If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) forbade the worshipper to stretch his arms in prostration like the dog, that was evidence of the prohibition of this stretching. So how is it when he compared the one who takes back his gift in his giving to a dog that returns to its vomit? So the hadith indicates the prohibition of taking back a gift and a donation.
