حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Ali ibn Muhammad both narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Ibrahim ibn Maysarah, from Amr ibn al-Sharid, from Abu Rafi, that the Prophet ﷺ said, “A neighbor has the stronger claim to what adjoins him.”

  • The Arabic uses سقبه, what is adjacent or near; the English witness similarly interprets it as nearby property.
