حديث أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: مِنَ السُّنَّةِ، إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ الْبِكْرَ عَلَى الثَّيِّبِ، أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا سَبْعًا، وَقَسَمَ؛ وَإِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الثَّيِّبَ عَلَى الْبِكْرِ، أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَسَمَ.
Anas Narrated from:
It is from As-Sunna (legal ways of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ) that if someone married a virgin and he has already a matron wife, then he should stay for seven days with her (the virgin) and then by turns; and if someone marries a matron and he had already a virgin wife, then he should stay with her (the matron) for three days, and then by turns. ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 141, Vol. 7)
