Sahih al-Bukhari
Sahih al-Bukhari 2257
Musaddad (bin Musarhad) narrated to us that Abdul Wahid told us. (Abdul Wahid said) that Ma'mar informed us. He narrated from Zuhri, Zuhri from Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman, Abu Salamah from Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (ra). He said: The Prophet (saw) decreed pre-emption (Shuf'a) in everything (property) that has not been divided. But when (the division took place and) the boundaries were set and the paths were made separate, then there is no pre-emption.

Makki bin Ibrahim narrated to us that Ibn Juraij told us, (he said) that Ibrahim bin Maisarah informed me from Amr bin Sharid. He said: I was standing with Hazrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (ra) when Hazrat Miswar bin Makhramah (ra) came and placed his hand on one of my shoulders. Meanwhile Abu Rafi' (ra), the freed slave of the Prophet (saw), came and began to say: Sa'd, buy my two houses that are in your compound. Hazrat Sa'd (ra) said: By Allah, I will not buy them. Hazrat Miswar (ra) said: By Allah, you will certainly have to buy them. So Hazrat Sa'd (ra) said: By Allah, I will not give you more than four thousand (Dirhams), and that too in instalments. (The narrator says that he used the word) munajjamah or muqatta'ah. Abu Rafi' (ra) said: I was being offered five hundred Dinars as its price. Had I not heard from the Prophet (saw) what he used to say: “A neighbour has a greater right on account of his nearness,” I would not have given them to you for four thousand (Dirhams), since I was getting five hundred Dinars for them. (But now I give them to you.) So he gave those houses to Hazrat Sa'd (ra).
