Chapter 19 · The Book of Sucklingحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الْبِكْرَ عَلَى الثَّيِّبِ، أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا سَبْعًا، وَإِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الثَّيِّبَ عَلَى الْبِكْرِ، أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا»، قَالَ خَالِدٌ: وَلَوْ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ رَفَعَهُ لَصَدَقْتُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ: السُّنَّةُ كَذَلِكَ.

When anyone who has already a wife marries 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 Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). I would have told the truth, but he (Hadrat Anas) said: Such is the tradition.
