As-Salam by a definite known specified measure

باب السَّلَمِ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ

وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ سَلاَمٌ هِيَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ}. قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ: مَا كَانَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ: {مَا أَدْرَاكَ} فَقَدْ أَعْلَمَهُ، وَمَا قَالَ: {وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ} فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْلِمْهُ.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina and the people used to pay in advance the price of fruits to be delivered within one or two years. (The sub-narrator is in doubt whether it was one to two years or two to three years.) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever pays money in advance for dates (to be delivered later) should pay it for known specified weight and measure (of the dates).

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالشُّفْعَةِ فِي كُلِّ مَا لَمْ يُقْسَمْ، فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ‏.‏

Chapter No. 10

The partner should inform his partner before selling

باب عَرْضِ الشُّفْعَةِ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا قَبْلَ الْبَيْعِ

وَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ إِذَا أَذِنَ لَهُ قَبْلَ الْبَيْعِ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ لَهُ.
وَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ مَنْ بِيعَتْ شُفْعَتُهُ وَهْوَ شَاهِدٌ لاَ يُغَيِّرُهَا فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ لَهُ.

Narrated `Amr bin Ash-Sharid:

While I was standing with Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas, Al-Miswar bin Makhrama came and put his hand on my shoulder. Meanwhile Abu Rafi`, the freed slave of the Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked Sa`d to buy from him the (two) dwellings which were in his house. Sa`d said, “By Allah I will not buy them.” Al- Miswar said, “By Allah, you shall buy them.” Sa`d replied, “By Allah, I will not pay more than four thousand (Dirhams) by installments.” Abu Rafi` said, “I have been offered five hundred Dinars (for it) and had I not heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, ‘The neighbor has more right than anyone else because of his nearness, I would not give them to you for four-thousand (Dirhams) while I am offered five-hundred Dinars (one Dinar equals ten Dirhams) for them.” So, he sold it to Sa`d.

حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، قَالَ وَقَفْتُ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، فَجَاءَ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى إِحْدَى مَنْكِبَىَّ إِذْ جَاءَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا سَعْدُ ابْتَعْ مِنِّي بَيْتَىَّ فِي دَارِكَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَبْتَاعُهُمَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ وَاللَّهِ لَتَبْتَاعَنَّهُمَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَزِيدُكَ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ آلاَفٍ، مُنَجَّمَةٍ أَوْ مُقَطَّعَةٍ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ لَقَدْ أُعْطِيتُ بِهَا خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ، وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ “‏ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ ‏”‏‏.‏ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ آلاَفٍ، وَأَنَا أُعْطَى بِهَا خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ‏.‏ فَأَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ‏.‏

Who is considered the nearer neighbour?

اب أَىُّ الْجِوَارِ أَقْرَبُ

Narrated Aisha:

I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I have two neighbors and would like to know to which of them I should give presents.” He replied, “To the one whose door is nearer to you.”
