Hadith 13
Business Transactions
Narrated Jabir (RA):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The neighbor is most entitled to the right of option to buy his neighbor's property, and its exercise should be waited for, even if he is absent, if the two properties have one road." [Reported by Ahmad and al-Arba'a; its narrators are reliable (thiqah)].
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -{ اَلْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِشُفْعَةِ جَارِهِ, يُنْتَظَرُ بِهَا - وَإِنْ كَانَ غَائِبًا - إِذَا كَانَ طَرِيقُهُمَا وَاحِدًا } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَالْأَرْبَعَةُ, وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ [1] .
