Undesirability of giving a Gift and then ask back for it
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَرْجِعُ فِي قَيْئِهِ" ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)). ((وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: "مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَرْجِعُ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ، كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ، ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ فَيَأْكُلُهُ". وفي رواية: "الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ)).
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who gives something (to someone) as a gift and then gets it back (from him or her) is like a dog which eats its own vomit." Another narration is: "He who gets back his charity is like a dog which vomits and then returns to that and eats it." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
