حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ وَإِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّائِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الْبِکْرَ عَلَی الثَّيِّبِ أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا سَبْعًا وَإِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الثَّيِّبَ أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا وَلَوْ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ رَفَعَهُ لَصَدَقْتُ وَلَکِنَّهُ قَالَ السُّنَّةُ کَذَلِکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2124
Narrated Anas bin Malik: When a man who has a wife married a virgin he should stay with her seven nights ; if he marries to a woman who has been previously married he should stay with her three nights. (The narrator said: ) If I say that he (Anas) narrated this tradition from the Prophet ﷺ I shall be true. But he said: The Sunnah is so-and-so.
