ومن باع دارا دخل بناؤها في البيع وإن لم يسمه
Translation: Whoever sells a house, its building is included in the sale even if not separately mentioned.

Dar means a house, and binaʾ its constructed fabric. Selling a house is not understood as transferring only a vacant site while withholding its standing construction.

The phrase even if not separately named is decisive: the seller does not need to list each wall or room for the building to pass with the house.
