Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ، سَاوَمَ سَعْدَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ بَيْتًا بِأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ مِثْقَالٍ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِصَقَبِهِ " . مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ.
Translation
ʿAmr ibn al-Sharīd reported that Abū Rāfiʿ negotiated with Saʿd ibn Mālik over a house for four hundred *mithqāls*. Abū Rāfiʿ said, “Were it not that I heard the Prophet say, ‘A neighbor has greater right to his adjacent property,’ I would not have given it to you.”
