Hadith 86

Sahih Muslim

Book 16: The Book of Marriage

Chapter 11

It is recommended to get married and arrange marriages in Shawwal, and it is recommended to consummate the marriage in that month

باب اسْتِحْبَابِ التَّزَوُّجِ وَالتَّزْوِيجِ فِي شَوَّالٍ وَاسْتِحْبَابِ الدُّخُولِ فِيهِ ‏

Sahih Muslim 1423b
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِعْلَ عَائِشَةَ‏.‏
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sufyan with the same chain of transmitters, but he made no mention of the act of 'A'isha (being admitted as a wife in the house of the Holy Prophet).
