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 (PbUH) 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 (PbUH) 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.
