'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: One day Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) visited me looking pleased and he said: 'A'isha, don't you see Mujazziz al-Mudliji? (He) entered (my house) and saw Usama and Zaid with a rug over them covering their heads, but their feet appeared, and (he) said: These feet are related to one another.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: A physiognomist visited (our house) and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was present, and Usama bin Zaid and Zaid bin Haritha were both lying asleep, and he (the physiognomist), said: These feet are related to one another. Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was pleased to hear this, and he was happy and informed 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) about it.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri and Yunus said: Mujazziz was a physiognomist.

'Abdul Malik bin Abu Bakr (RA) bin Abdul Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham reported on the authority of his father from Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married Umm Salamah, he stayed with her for three nights, and said: There is no lack of estimation on the part of your husband for you. If you wish I can stay with you for a week, but in case I stay with you for a week, then I shall have to stay for a week with all my wives.

Ibn Abu Bakr (RA) bin Abdul Rahman reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married Umm Salamah and she stayed with him (during the night), and it was dawn, he (the Holy Prophet) said to her: There is no lack of estimation for you on the part of your husband. So if you desire I can spend a week with you, and if you like I may spend three (nights), and then I will visit you in turn. She said: Spend three (nights).

Abu Bakr (RA) bin 'Abdul Rahman reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married Umm Salamah and he visited her, and when he intended to come out, she caught hold of his cloth, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: If you so desire, I can extend the time (of my stay) with you, but then I shall have to calculate the time (that I stay with you and shall have to spend the same time with other wives). For the virgin woman (her husband has to stay with her) for a week, and for the woman previously married it is three days.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Humaid.

Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married her, and he (the narrator) made mention of so many things in this connection (and one of them was this) that he said: If you desire that I spend a week with you, I shall have to spend a week with my (other) wives, and if spend a week with you, I shall have to spend a week with my (other) wives.

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

Abu Qilaba reported on the authority of Anas (RA): It is the Sunnah to stay with a virgin (after having married her) for a week. Khalid (one of the narrators) said: I wish I can say that it can be traced up to the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) .
