Sahih al-Bukhari 6718 (Book 90, Hadith 23)

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) has decreed that preemption is valid in all cases where the real estate concerned has not
been divided, but if the boundaries are established and the ways are made, then there is no preemption.
A man said, “Preemption is only for the neighbor,” and then he makes invalid what he has confirmed.
He said, “If someone wants to buy a house and being afraid that the neighbor (of the house) may buy
it through preemption, he buys one share out of one hundred shares of the house and then buys the rest
of the house, then the neighbor can only have the right of preemption for the first share but not for the
rest of the house; and the buyer may play such a trick in this case.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الشُّفْعَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا لَمْ يُقْسَمْ، فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ الشُّفْعَةُ لِلْجِوَارِ‏.‏ ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إِلَى مَا شَدَّدَهُ فَأَبْطَلَهُ، وَقَالَ إِنِ اشْتَرَى دَارًا فَخَافَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الْجَارُ بِالشُّفْعَةِ، فَاشْتَرَى سَهْمًا مِنْ مِائَةِ سَهْمٍ، ثُمَّ اشْتَرَى الْبَاقِيَ، وَكَانَ لِلْجَارِ الشُّفْعَةُ فِي السَّهْمِ الأَوَّلِ، وَلاَ شُفْعَةَ لَهُ فِي بَاقِي الدَّارِ، وَلَهُ أَنْ يَحْتَالَ فِي ذَلِكَ‏.‏
