The Prophet said, “If anyone of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah, and he should
thank Allah for it and narrate it to others; but if he sees something else, i.e., a dream that he dislikes,

Al-Miswar bin Makhrama came and put his hand on my shoulder and I accompanied him to Sa’d.
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-thou –
sand Dirham as compensation in which case the preemptor loses his right of preemption.”
Narrated ‘Amr bin Ash-Sharid: Abu Rafi’ said that Sa’d offered him four hundred Mithqal of gold
for a house. 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.” Some people said, “If one has
bought a portion of a house and wants to cancel the right of preemption, he may give it as a present
to his little son and he will not be obliged to take an oath.”
Volume 9, Book 86, Number 108:
Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa’idi:
Allah’s Apostle appointed a man called Ibn Al-Lutabiyya to collect the Zakat from Bani Sulaim’s
tribe. When he returned, the Prophet called him to account. He said (to the Prophet, ‘This is your
money, and this has been given to me as a gift.” 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 cus –
tody, 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 narrat –
or added: My eyes witnessed and my ears heard (that Hadith).
Volume 9, Book 86, Number 109:
Narrated Abu Rafi’:
The Prophet said, “The neighbor has more right to be taken care of by his neighbor (than anyone
else).” Some men said, “If one wants to buy a house for 20,000 Dirhams then there is no harm to play
a trick to deprive somebody of preemption by buying it (just on paper) with 20,000 Dirhams but

paying to the seller only 9,999 Dirhams in cash and then agree with the seller to pay only one Dinar
in cash for the rest of the price (i.e. 10,001 Dirhams). If the preemptor offers 20,000 Dirhams for the
house, he can buy it otherwise he has no right to buy it (by this trick he got out of preemption). If the
house proves to belong to somebody else other than the seller, the buyer should take back from the
seller what he has paid, i.e., 9,999 Dirhams and one Dinar, because if the house proves to belong to
somebody else, so the whole bargain (deal) is unlawful. If the buyer finds a defect in the house and it
does not belong to somebody other than the seller, the buyer may return it and receive 20,000
Dirhams (instead of 9999 Dirham plus one Dinar) which he actually paid.’ Abu ‘Abdullah said, “So
that man allows (some people) the playing of tricks amongst the Muslims (although) the Prophet
said, ‘In dealing with Muslims one should not sell them sick (animals) or bad things or stolen things.”
Volume 9, Book 86, Number 110:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Ash-Sharid:
Abu Rafi’ sold a house to Sa’d bin Malik for four-hundred Mithqal of gold, and said, “If I had not
heard the Prophet saying, ‘The neighbor has more right to be taken care of by his neighbor (than
anyone else),’ then I would not have sold it to you.”
