باب قَدْرِ مَا تَسْتَحِقُّهُ الْبِكْرُ وَالثَّيِّبُ مِنْ إِقَامَةِ الزَّوْجِ عِنْدَهَا عَقِبَ الزِّفَافِ:Chapter: How long a virgin and a previously-married woman are entitled to have the husband stay with them after marriage
حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالُوا : حدثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَقَامَ عَنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا ، وَقَالَ : " إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِكِ عَلَى أَهْلِكِ هَوَانٌ ، إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ ، وَإِنْ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ سَبَّعْتُ لِنِسَائِي " .
'Abdul Malik bin Abu Bakr (RA) bin Abdul Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham reported on the authority of his father from Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married Umm Salamah, he stayed with her for three nights, and said: There is no lack of estimation on the part of your husband for you. If you wish I can stay with you for a week, but in case I stay with you for a week, then I shall have to stay for a week with all my wives.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The name of Umm al-Mu’minin (Mother of the Believers) Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha was Hind bint Abi Umayyah. She was married to Abu Salamah. Abu Salamah’s name was Abdullah bin Abd al-Asad; he was the son of Barrah bint Abd al-Muttalib, who was the paternal aunt of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When he passed away in the 4th year of Hijrah, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam married Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha.
➋ If the bride is a thayyib (widow or divorcee), it is also permissible to stay with her for seven days, but in this case, the husband must also stay seven days with each of the other wife or wives before starting the regular rotation.
➌ In response to this offer from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha chose a period of three days. (Sahih Muslim, al-Rada’, Chapter: The amount of time a virgin and a thayyib are entitled to have the husband stay with them after marriage, Hadith: 1460)
➍ The likely reason for this is that in this way, there was hope of receiving her turn sooner. It is necessary, within the bounds of the Shari’ah, to take into consideration the feelings of the wives.
