حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَکْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِکِ عَلَی أَهْلِکِ هَوَانٌ إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَکِ وَإِنْ سَبَّعْتُ لَکِ سَبَّعْتُ لِنِسَائِي
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2122
Abd al-Malik bin Abi Bakr reported from his father on the authority of Umm Salamah: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Umm Salamah, he stayed with her three night, and said: Your people (i. e. clan) are not being humbled for you in my estimation. If you wish I shall stay with you seven nights ; and if I stay you seven nights, I shall stay with my other wives seven nights.
