Arabic text

2493 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانَ، وَالْعَلَاءُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَأَرَادَ بَيْعَهَا، فَلْيَعْرِضْهَا عَلَى جَارِهِ»

Commentary

If there are two owners of a property and one of them wishes to sell his share, he must inform his co-shareholder and give him a chance to buy his share. They are supposed to cooperate each other in this matter. The neighbors also have the right of preemption, therefore, the neighbors should also be informed before any buying and selling occurs.
