4702 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ»

Commentary
In the Sunan and Musnad Ahmad, there occurs a narration of the same signification, transmitted Jābir ﷺ. It also contains the condition provided their pathway is one. So to speak, a neighbor has the right of pre-emption (Shuf'a) if he is a partner in the pathway, etc. In this way, all the narrations would be acted upon or brought into practice. Some venerable individuals bestow the right of pre-emption to a neighbor irrespective of whether or not he is a partner from any dimension. But this would contravene the agreed upon narrations of the two Sahīhs (Al-Bukhārī and Muslim), in which there is negation of pre-emption after the formal distribution of property and the pathways having been separate (for instance, see No. 4708).
