Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 35
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَمْلُوكٍ بَيْنَ شُرَكَاءَ أَرَادَ أَحَدُهُمْ بَيْعَ نَصِيبِهِ قَالَ "يَبِيعُهُ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُمَا كَانَا اِثْنَيْنِ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدُهُمَا بَيْعَ نَصِيبِهِ فَلَمَّا أَقْدَمَ عَلَى اَلْبَيْعِ قَالَ لَهُ شَرِيكُهُ أَعْطِنِي قَالَ "هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ" ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لاَ شُفْعَةَ فِي حَيَوَانٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ اَلشَّرِيكُ فِيهِ وَاحِداً".
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a slave owned jointly by partners, and one of them wanted to sell his share. Imam عليه السلام said: "He may sell it." I then asked: "What if there were only two partners, and one of them wanted to sell his share, but when he proceeded with the sale, his partner said to him, 'Give it to me instead'?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "The partner has more right to it." Then Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no preemption (shufah) in animals except when there is only one partner involved."
