حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الشُّفْعَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا لَمْ يُقْسَمْ فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, from Mamar, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted the right of pre-emption in every case where property has not been divided. Once boundaries have been set and access roads laid out, there is no right of pre-emption.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The Arabic specifies two conditions ending pre-emption: boundaries are established and routes are laid out.
