نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ ، نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ ، نَا الْوَاقِدِيُّ . ح وَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي الثَّلْجِ ، نَا جَدِّي ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، نَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : وَنا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، 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 ، قَالَ لَهَا حِينَ دَخَلَ بِهَا : " لَيْسَ بِكِ هَوَانٌ عَلَى أَهْلِكِ إِنْ شِئْتِ أَقَمْتُ مَعَكِ ثَلاثًا خَالِصَةً لَكِ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ ثُمَّ سَبَّعْتُ لِنِسَائِي ، فَقَالَتْ تُقِيمُ مَعِي ثَلاثًا خَالِصَةً " . فَأَخَذَ مَالِكٌ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، " بِسَبْعٍ لِلْبِكْرِ ، وَبِثَلاثٍ لِلثَّيِّبِ ".
The same narration is also transmitted with another chain: Abdul Malik bin Abu Bakr, on the authority of his father, narrates the statement of Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her): When she was married, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "You are not of lesser status with your husband. If you wish, I will stay with you for three days, which will be exclusively for you (while the other wives will receive one day each according to their turn), and if you wish, I will stay with you for seven days, but then I will stay with each of my wives for seven days." So Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "You may stay with me for three days." Imam Malik and Ibn Abi Dhi'b have derived from this the ruling: with a virgin, one should stay for seven days, and with a previously married woman, for three days.
