Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd at-Tawil that Anas ibn Malik said, "A virgin has seven nights, and a woman who has been previously married has three nights." Malik affirmed, "That is what is done among us." Malik added, "If the man has another wife, he divides his time equally between them after the wedding nights. He does not count the wedding nights against the one he has just married."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لِلْبِكْرِ سَبْعٌ وَلِلثَّيِّبِ ثَلاَثٌ۔ قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَذلِكَ الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا۔ وَقَالَ مَالِكٌ : فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرُ الَّتِي تَزَوَّجَ، فَإِنَّهُ يَقْسِمُ بَيْنَهُمَا، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ أَيَّامُ الَّتِي تَزَوَّجَ بِالسَّوَاءِ، وَلَا يَحْسِبُ عَلَى الَّتِي تَزَوَّجَ، مَا أَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا۔
