• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ مُرْسَلاً عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ بَعْضُ فُقَهَاءِ التَّابِعِينَ مِثْلُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَغَيْرِهِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْهُمْ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ وَرَبِيعَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ لاَ يَرَوْنَ الشُّفْعَةَ إِلاَّ لِلْخَلِيطِ وَلاَ يَرَوْنَ لِلْجَارِ شُفْعَةً إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ خَلِيطًا وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَغَيْرِهِمُ الشُّفْعَةُ لِلْجَارِ وَاحْتَجُّوا بِالْحَدِيثِ الْمَرْفُوعِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ جَارُ الدَّارِ أَحَقُّ بِالدَّارِ وَقَالَ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: This is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) hadith. Some of them have narrated it as a mursal report from Abū Salamah from the Prophet ﷺ. The practice is in accordance with this among some of the people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, among them ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb and ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān. Some of the jurists of the Successors also hold this view, such as ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz and others. It is the view of the people of Madinah, among them Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd al-Anṣārī, Rabīʿah b. Abī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and Mālik b. Anas. Al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad and Isḥāq also hold this view. They do not recognize preemption (shufʿah) except for the co-owner (khalīṭ), and they do not recognize preemption for the neighbor if he is not a co-owner. Some of the people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said: Preemption is for the neighbor. They argued with the raised (marfūʿ) hadith from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "The neighbor of the house has more right to the house," and he said: "The neighbor has more right to what is near him." This is the view of al-Thawrī, Ibn al-Mubārak and the people of Kūfah. Report a problem

  machine translationWhat I hold is that this much is the speech of the Prophet ﷺ: the Prophet ﷺ only established pre-emption (shufʿah) in what has not been divided at all. It seems that the rest of the statement is the speech of Jābir: "When it is divided and the boundaries have been set, there is no pre-emption." And God knows best. Report a problem
