"إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ عِنْدَكِ وَسَبَّعْتُ عنْدَهُنَّ، وَإنَّ شِئْت ثَلَّثْتُ عنْدَك وَدُرْتُ" .  

مالك أن النبى ﷺ، قاله لأُم سلمة؛ ولمسلم: إِنَّ شئت سبعْتُ عندك، وإِن شئْت ثَلَّثْتُ ثم دُرْتُ. قالت: ثَلِّث عن أُم سلمة

malik:28-15Yaḥyá > Mālik > ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Bakr b. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥazm > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Abū Bakr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Ḥārith b. Hishām al-Makhzūmī from his father

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm from Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Bakr ibn Abd ar- Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham al-Makhzumi from his father that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Umm Salama and then spent the night with her, he said to her, "You are not being humbled in your right. If you wish, I will stay with you for seven nights as I stayed seven nights with the others. If you wish, I will stay with you for three nights, and then visit the others in turn." She said, "Stay three nights."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ تَزَوَّجَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ وَأَصْبَحَتْ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ لَهَا لَيْسَ بِكِ عَلَى أَهْلِكِ هَوَانٌ إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ عِنْدَكِ وَسَبَّعْتُ عِنْدَهُنَّ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ ثَلَّثْتُ عِنْدَكِ وَدُرْتُ فَقَالَتْ ثَلِّثْ
