موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik Riwayat Yahya
بَابُ مَا لَا تَقَعُ فِيهِ الشُّفْعَةُ
Chapter on what is not subject to pre-emption (shuf‘ah)
Hadith Number: 1411B4
قال مالك: والشفعة ثابتة في مال الميت كما هي في مال الحي، فإن خشي اهل الميت ان ينكسر مال الميت قسموه، ثم باعوه فليس عليهم فيه شفعة.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person buys land and remains in possession of it for a period, and afterwards another person proves his right in that land, then he will be entitled to pre-emption (shuf‘a), and whatever benefit has been derived from the land will belong to the buyer up to the date his right was established, because the buyer was the guarantor of that land if it had been destroyed or its trees had perished. If a long time has passed, or the witnesses have died, or the seller and buyer have died, or they are alive but have forgotten the sale due to the passage of much time, then in this case the person will get his right but will not be entitled to claim pre-emption. If not much time has passed and it becomes known to the person that the seller deliberately concealed the sale in order to invalidate the pre-emption, then the person may pay the price of the original land and the value of whatever has increased in it, and take the pre-emption.

قال مالك: ولا شفعة عندنا في عبد ولا وليدة، ولا بعير ولا بقرة ولا شاة ولا في شيء من الحيوان، ولا في ثوب ولا في بئر ليس لها بياض، إنما الشفعة فيما يصلح انه ينقسم وتقع فيه الحدود من الارض، فاما ما لا يصلح فيه القسم فلا شفعة فيه.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that just as there is pre-emption (shuf‘ah) in the property of a living person, likewise there is pre-emption in the property of a deceased person. However, if the heirs of the deceased divide his property and then sell it, there will be no pre-emption in that.

. قال مالك: ومن اشترى ارضا فيها شفعة لناس حضور، فليرفعهم إلى السلطان، فإما ان يستحقوا، وإما ان يسلم له السلطان، فإن تركهم فلم يرفع امرهم إلى السلطان وقد علموا باشترائه فتركوا ذلك حتى طال زمانه، ثم جاءوا يطلبون شفعتهم، فلا ارى ذلك لهم
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, there is no right of pre-emption (shuf‘ah) in slaves, slave-girls, camels, cows, goats, animals, or clothes, nor in a well that does not have land with it, because shuf‘ah is in land that is capable of being divided and has boundaries. Anything that is not of the type of land does not have shuf‘ah in it.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person buys land in which people have the right of pre-emption, he should take the pre-emptors to the ruler, so that they may either take the pre-emption or leave it. If the buyer did not take the pre-emptors to the ruler, but they came to know about the purchase and did not claim the right of pre-emption within the prescribed period, and claimed it after that, it will not be heard.
