1139. Abū Qilābah narrated from Anas bin Mālik, he (Abū Qilābah) said: "If I wish, I could say: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said'" but he said: "The Sunnah when a man marries a virgin after he already has a wife, is that he stays with her seven (nights). And when he marries a matron when he already has a wife, he stays with her three (nights)." (Sahih)
(He said:) There is a narration on this topic from Umm Salamah.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) The Hadith of Anas is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. Muḥammad bin Ishāq reported it in Marfū' form from Ayyūb, from Abū Qilābah, from Anas. While some of them did not narrate it in Marfū' form.
(He said:) This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge, they said that when a man marries a virgin woman along with his (current) wife, then he stays with her for seven (nights). Then he divides equally between them afterwards. When he marries a matron along with his wife, he stays with her for three (nights). (This is the view of Mālik, Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.)
[Some of the people of knowledge among the Tābi'in said: "When he marries a virgin along with his wife, then he stays with her for three (nights). And when he marries a
matron he stays with her for two nights.” But the first view is more correct].

Commentary
The view point of the three A'immah and Ishāq and Abū Thawr is that if a married person marries another woman, he will stay with her for seven days if she is a virgin, and if she is a widow or divorced, he will stay with her for three days, and after this period he will have to fix the turns among his wives.
