وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ -رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا-, عَنِ اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -قَالَ: { اَلشُّفْعَةُ كَحَلِّ اَلْعِقَالِ } رَوَاهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالْبَزَّارُ, وَزَادَ: وَلَا شُفْعَةَ لِغَائِبٍ وَإِسْنَادُهُ ضَعِيفٌ [1] .
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The option to buy neighboring property is like loosening the knot (which restraints the camel)." [Reported by Ibn Majah and al-Bazzar, who added: "And there is no option to buy a neighboring property for one who is absent." Its chain of narrators is Da'if (weak)].
