Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married Umm Salama 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.
