Sunan Ibn MajahHadith Number 2500
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْبَيْلَمَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الشُّفْعَةُ كَحَلِّ الْعِقَالِ " .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Preemption is like undoing the `Iqal.”
[1] Iqâl is the rope used to hobble a camel. It means that the opportunity may slip through your fingers if you do not hasten to take advantage of it, just as a camel released from the Iqâl will run away quickly.
