him the (two) dwellings which were in his house. Sad said, “By Allah I will not buy them.” Al-Miswar
said, “By Allah, you shall buy them.” Sad 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 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 Sad.
