Hadith 2246
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لِلْبِكْرِ سَبْعٌ، وَلِلثَّيِّبِ ثَلَاثٌ".
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "For a virgin, there are seven days, and for a previously married woman, there are three days."
Brief Explanation
(Explanation of Hadith 2245)
If one marries a woman who has previously been married (thayyib), it is prescribed and was the practice of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to stay with her continuously for three days. If one marries a virgin girl (bikr), then in the presence of other wives, it is prescribed to stay with her continuously for seven days. This is because a new wife, especially a virgin girl, initially feels apprehensive; by staying with her for these days, her apprehension will be removed and affection and intimacy will increase. After this period, he should stay with all wives in turn, so that it is not contrary to justice.
