Neighbors are more entitled in buying and selling (Shufa) (2257-2259)

Narrated Jabir Ibn Abdullah: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave a verdict regarding Shuf'a in every undivided joint thing (property). But if the limits are defined (or demarcated) or the ways and streets are fixed, then there is no pre-emption.

Narrated Amr Ibn Ash-Sharid: While I was standing with Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas, Al-Miswar Ibn Makhrama came and put his hand on my shoulder. Meanwhile Abu Rafi, the freed slave of the Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked Sa'd to buy from him the (two) dwellings which were in his house. Sa'd said, "By Allah I will not buy them." Al- Miswar said, "By Allah, you shall buy them." Sa'd replied, "By Allah, I will not pay more than four thousand (Dirhams) by installments." Abu Rafi said, "I have been offered five hundred Dinars (for it) and had I not heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'The neighbor has more right than anyone else because of his nearness, I would not give them to you for four-thousand (Dirhams) while I am offered five-hundred Dinars (one Dinar equals ten Dirhams) for them." So, he sold it to Sad.

Narrated Aisha: I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have two neighbors and would like to know to which of them I should give presents." He replied, "To the one whose door is nearer to you."
