حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِشُفْعَةِ جَارِهِ يَنْتَظِرُ بِهَا وَإِنْ کَانَ غَائِبًا إِذَا کَانَ طَرِيقُهُمَا وَاحِدًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2494
It was narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said: "The neighbor has more right to preemption of his neighbor, so let him wait for him even if he is absent, if they share a path."
