Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6222 — The command regarding pre-emption (shuf’ah)
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ كَانَ شَرِيكًا فِي رَبْعَةٍ أَوْ نَخْلٍ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَ حَتَّى يُؤْذِنَ شَرِيكَهُ فَإِنْ رَضِيَ أَخَذَ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ تَرَكَ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When someone is a partner with another in a house or in a date-palm, it is not permissible for him to sell his share without informing his partner. (He should first inform his partner); if the partner likes, he may take it, and if he dislikes, he may leave it.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these ahadith it is understood that if a partner wishes to sell his share, he should first present it to the other partner or partners. If they wish to purchase it, then they are the most deserving of it. And if they do not wish to take it, then he may sell his share to whomever he wishes.
