Those who used to rule pre-emption for the neighbor

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided pre-emption (shuf'ah) in favour of the neighbour.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided pre-emption (shuf'ah) in favour of the neighbour.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him), as a report traced back to the Prophet, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A neighbour has the greater right to his pre-emption."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The neighbour of a house has (through pre-emption) the greater right to that house."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If neighbours share one path, the neighbour of the house has the greater right of pre-emption, and if he is not present, he will be waited for."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one claiming pre-emption has a greater right than the neighbour, and the neighbour has a greater right than the one who is nearby." (Or else the meaning is that if the one claiming pre-emption is a neighbour, he has the greater right, and if the neighbour is also nearby, he has the greater right.)

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided pre-emption (shuf'ah) in favour of neighbours.

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Shurayh that he should decide the right of pre-emption (shuf'ah) in favour of neighbours.

He said: Shurayh used to decide the right of pre-emption (shuf'ah) for a man from the people of Kufah against a man from the people of al-Sham.

Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Shurayh that the partner is more entitled than the pre-emptor (shafi'), the pre-emptor is more entitled than the neighbour, and the neighbour is more entitled than all others.

Ibrahim said that the partner is more entitled to pre-emption (shuf'ah), and if there is no partner, then the neighbour is more entitled.

Ibrahim said that the partner is more entitled than the neighbour, and the neighbour is more entitled than all others.

Sayyiduna Amr bin Hurayth (may Allah be pleased with him) used to decide the right of pre-emption (shuf'ah) in favour of neighbours.

Sayyiduna al-Sharid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! There is a piece of land in which no one has any share or partnership; there is only its neighbour. Who has the right of pre-emption (shuf'ah) in it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The neighbour is more entitled to his pre-emption."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has a partnership in land or a house, it is not permissible for him to sell it without the permission of his partner. If his partner wishes, he may buy it himself, and if he wishes, he may decline to buy it."
