Read More..Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet 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.

Abu Rafi' said to Al-Miswar, Won't you order this (i.e. Sa'd) to buy my house which is in my yard? Sa'd said, I will not offer more than four hundred in installments over a fixed period. Abu Rafi said, I was offered five hundred cash but I refused. Had I not heard the Prophet saying, 'A neighbor is more entitled to receive the care of his neighbor,' I would not have sold it to you. The narrator said, to Sufyan: Ma'mar did not say so. Sufyan said, But he did say so to me. Some people said, If someone wants to sell a house and deprived somebody of the right of preemption, he has the right to play a trick to render the preemption invalid. And that is by giving the house to the buyer as a present and marking its boundaries and giving it to him. The buyer then gives the seller one-thousand Dirham as compensation in which case the preemptor loses his right of preemption.

Abu Rafi ' said, If I had not heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'A neighbor has more right to be taken care of by his neighbor,' then I would not have given it to you.

On that, Allah's Apostle said, Why didn't you stay in your father's and mother's house to see whether you will be given gifts or not if you are telling the truth? Then the Prophet addressed us, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said: Amma Ba'du , I employ a man from among you to manage some affair of what Allah has put under my custody, and then he comes to me and says, 'This is your money and this has been given to me as a gift. Why didn't he stay in his father's and mother's home to see whether he will be given gifts or not? By Allah, not anyone of you takes a thing unlawfully but he will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection, carrying that thing. I do not want to see any of you carrying a grunting camel or a mooing cow or a bleating sheep on meeting Allah. Then the Prophet raised both his hands till the whiteness of his armpits became visible, and he said, O Allah! Haven't I have conveyed (Your Message)? The narrator added: My eyes witnessed and my ears heard (that Hadith).
