وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِشُفْعَتِهِ يُنْتَظَرُ لَهَا وَإِنْ كَانَ غَائِبًا إِذَا كَانَ طَرِيقُهُمَا وَاحِدًا» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ. والدارمي

Jabir reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A neighbor has the stronger right of pre-emption; it should be awaited for him, even if he is absent, when the two properties share one road.” Ahmad, al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and al-Darimi narrated it.
