58 13652 Sahih Muslim 18 3699 The Book of Suckling - كتاب الرضاع "30399 20468 11282 11047 19" حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، أخبرنا هشيم، عن خالد، عن أبي قلابة، عن أنس بن، مالك قال إذا تزوج البكر على الثيب أقام عندها سبعا وإذا تزوج الثيب على البكر أقام عندها ثلاثا ‏.‏ قال خالد ولو قلت إنه رفعه لصدقت ولكنه قال السنة كذلك ‏.‏ " Anas b. Malik reported: 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 Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him). I would have told the truth but he (Hadrat Anas) said: Such is the tradition."
