I donated a horse in the way of Allah

Kiarabu

وعن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال: حملت على فرس في سبيل الله فأضاعه الذي كان عنده، فأردت أن أشتريه، وظننت أنه يبيعه برخص، فسألت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: "لا تشتره ولا تعد في صدقتك وإن أعطاكه بدرهم، فإن العائد في صدقته كالعائد في قيئه" ((متفق عليه)). قوله: "حملت على فرس في سبيل الله" معناه: تصدقت به على بعض المجاهدين.

Tafsiri ya Kiswahili

Kutoka kwa 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) said: "I donated a horse in the way of Allah. Its new possessor did not treat it properly. I made my mind to buy it because I thought that he would sell it at a cheap price (now that it became weak and emaciated). I asked Mtume (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) about it, whereupon he said, "Do not buy it and do not get back your sadaka, for one who gets back the sadaka is like a dog that eats its own vomit.""

I made my mind to buy it because I thought that he would sell it at a cheap price (now that it became weak and emaciated).
