2496. It was narrated that Sharid bin Suwaid said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, (what do you think of) land owned by only one person but this land has neighbors?' He said: 'The neighbor has more right to property that is near.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

2496 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ الشَّرِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرْضٌ لَيْسَ فِيهَا لِأَحَدٍ قِسْمٌ وَلَا شِرْكٌ، إِلَّا الْجِوَارُ، قَالَ: «الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ»

Commentary

The neighbor who has a common path to the property has more right of preemption than others. If at the time of selling a house or piece of land, the neighbor is absent or out of the town or village, the other party should wait for his arrival to give his right of preemption to him.
