Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الشُّفْعَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا لَمْ يُقْسَمْ، فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ‏.‏

Translation

Abd Allah ibn Muhammad narrated to us: Hisham narrated to us: Ma'mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salama, from Jabir ibn Abd Allah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) established the right of pre-emption in every property that has not been divided. Once boundaries have been set and access paths assigned, there is no right of pre-emption.

Translation notes
  • Shuf'a is the right of pre-emption in a jointly owned, undivided property. The source ties its end to the setting of boundaries and allocation of paths.
