حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الشَّرِيدِ قَالَ

جَاءَ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ لِلْمِسْوَرِ أَلاَ تَأْمُرُ هَذَا أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ مِنِّي بَيْتِي الَّذِي فِي دَارِي فَقَالَ لاَ أَزِيدُهُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ إِمَّا مُقَطَّعَةٍ وَإِمَّا مُنَجَّمَةٍ قَالَ أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسَمِائَةٍ نَقْدًا فَمَنَعْتُهُ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِصَقَبِهِ مَا بِعْتُكَهُ أَوْ قَالَ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَهُ

Al-Miswar bin Makhrama came and put his hand on my shoulder and I accompanied him to Sa'd. Abu Rafi' said to Al-Miswar, "Won't you order this (i.e. Sa'd) to buy my house which is in my yard?" Sa'd said, "I will not offer more than four hundred in installments over a fixed period." Abu Rafi said, "I was offered five hundred cash but I refused. Had I not heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'A neighbor is more entitled to receive the care of his neighbor,' I would not have sold it to you." The narrator said, to Sufyan: Ma'mar did not say so. Sufyan said, "But he did say so to me." Some people said, "If someone wants to sell a house and deprived somebody of the right of preemption, he has the right to play a trick to render the preemption invalid. And that is by giving the house to the buyer as a present and marking its boundaries and giving it to him. The buyer then gives the seller one-thousand Dirham as compensation in which case the preemptor loses his right of preemption."

Notes

  • قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ إِنَّ مَعْمَرًا لَمْ يَقُلْ هَكَذَا قَالَ لَكِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي هَكَذَا وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبِيعَ الشُّفْعَةَ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَحْتَالَ حَتَّى يُبْطِلَ الشُّفْعَةَ فَيَهَبُ الْبَائِعُ لِلْمُشْتَرِي الدَّارَ وَيَحُدُّهَا وَيَدْفَعُهَا إِلَيْهِ وَيُعَوِّضُهُ الْمُشْتَرِي أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ فَلاَ يَكُونُ لِلشَّفِيعِ فِيهَا شُفْعَةٌ
