قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) دَارٌ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ اقْتَسَمُوهَا فَأَخَذَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ قِطْعَةً وَ بَنَاهَا وَ تَرَكُوا بَيْنَهُمْ سَاحَةً فِيهَا مَمَرُّهُمْ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاشْتَرَى نَصِيبَ بَعْضِهِمْ أَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنْ يَسُدُّ بَابَهُ وَ يَفْتَحُ بَاباً إِلَى الطَّرِيقِ أَوْ يَنْزِلُ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْبَيْتِ وَ يَسُدُّ بَابَهُ فَإِنْ أَرَادَ صَاحِبُ الطَّرِيقِ بَيْعَهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ وَ إِلَّا فَهُوَ طَرِيقُهُ يَجِيءُ حَتَّى يَجْلِسَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Kahily, from mansour Bin hazim who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A house is between a group, so they divide it. So each one of them takes his piece and buids it and leaves a courtyard between them wherein is their passageway. So a man comes over and he buys a share of one of them, Is that for him (to do)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘Yes, but he would have to close his door and open (another) door to the road, or descend from the top of the house and close his door. So if the owner of the pathway sells it, so they would be more rightful with it, or else so it would be his pathway coming until it sets upon that door’.
