Sunan Abi Dawud 3518 (Book 24, Hadith 103) #23808
The Right of Pre-emption for Neighbors

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the neighbor has the right of pre-emption when two properties have one road.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet said: The neighbour is most entitled to the right of pre-emption, and he should wait for its exercise even if he is absent, when the two properties have one road.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِشُفْعَةِ جَارِهِ يُنْتَظَرُ بِهَا وَإِنْ كَانَ غَائِبًا إِذَا كَانَ طَرِيقُهُمَا وَاحِدًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect your neighbor's rights and privileges

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of respecting our neighbors and their rights. It is narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah, who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He said that when two properties have one road, then the neighbor has the right to pre-emption. This means that if someone wants to buy a property which is adjacent to another person's property, then they must first offer it to their neighbor before anyone else can purchase it. This shows us how important it is for us to respect our neighbors and their rights in any situation we may find ourselves in. We should always remember that our neighbors are entitled to certain privileges and we should not take advantage of them or try to infringe on their rights in any way.
