17. Preemption
١٧۔ كتاب الشفعة
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever has a date-palm tree or land, should not sell it until he has offered it to his partner.' ”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ نَخْلٌ أَوْ أَرْضٌ فَلاَ يَبِيعُهَا حَتَّى يَعْرِضَهَا عَلَى شَرِيكِهِ
“Whoever has land and wants to sell it, let him offer it to his neighbor.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَأَرَادَ بَيْعَهَا فَلْيَعْرِضْهَا عَلَى جَارِهِ
17.2 Preemption By Virtue Of Being Neighbors
١٧۔٢ باب الشُّفْعَةِ بِالْجِوَارِ
“The neighbor has more right to preemption of his neighbor, so let him wait for him even if he is absent, if they share a path.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِشُفْعَةِ جَارِهِ يَنْتَظِرُ بِهَا إِنْ كَانَ غَائِبًا إِذَا كَانَ طَرِيقُهُمَا وَاحِدًا
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ
“I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, (what do you think of) land owned by only one person but this land has neighbors?' He said: 'The neighbor has more right to property that is near.' ”
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْضٌ لَيْسَ فِيهَا لأَحَدٍ قِسْمٌ وَلاَ شِرْكٌ إِلاَّ الْجِوَارُ قَالَ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ
17.3 If The Boundaries Have Been Fixed Then There Is No Preemption
١٧۔٣ باب إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled concerning preemption of land that has not been divided; if the boundaries have been set then there is no preemption.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِالشُّفْعَةِ فِيمَا لَمْ يُقْسَمْ فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ
Another chain narrates a hadith similar to the previous one.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ مُرْسَلٌ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مُتَّصِلٌ
“The partner has more right to what is near him, so long as he is still a partner.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الشَّرِيكُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ مَا كَانَ
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that preemption takes effect in all cases where land has not been divided. But if the boundaries have been set and the roads laid out, then there is no preemption.”
إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الشُّفْعَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا لَمْ يُقْسَمْ فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ
17.4 Requesting Preemption
١٧۔٤ باب طَلَبِ الشُّفْعَةِ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الشُّفْعَةُ كَحَلِّ الْعِقَالِ
“There is no preemption for a partner when his co-partner has beaten him to it (in another deal before), not for a minor nor one who is absent.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ شُفْعَةَ لِشَرِيكٍ عَلَى شَرِيكٍ إِذَا سَبَقَهُ بِالشِّرَاءِ وَلاَ لِصَغِيرٍ وَلاَ لِغَائِبٍ
