أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الْبِكْرَ عَلَى الثَّيِّبِ أَقَامَ عَنْدَهَا سَبْعًا ، وَإِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الثَّيِّبَ عَلَى الْبِكْرِ أَقَامَ عَنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا " ، قَالَ خَالِدٌ : وَلَوْ قُلْتُ : إِنَّهُ رَفَعَهُ لَصَدَقْتُ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ : السُّنَّةُ كَذَلِكَ .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: When anyone who has already a wife, marries a virgin, he should stay with her for seven nights (and then turn to his other wife), but when anyone having a virgin with him (as his wife) marries a woman who has been previously married he should stay with her for three nights. Khalid (one of the narrators) said. If I were to say that it could be directly traced to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) , I would have told the truth, but he (Hadrat Anas) said: Such is the tradition.
