2. Placing your hands on your wife's head and
praying for her
The husband should, at the time of consummating the marriage with his
wife or before that, place his hand on the front part of her head, mention
the name of Allah Most High, and pray for Allah's blessings. As in the
statement of the Prophet :
"When any of you marries a woman ... he should hold her forelock,
mention Allah Most High, and pray for His blessings saying: "O Allaah,
I ask You for the good in her and the good with which You have created
her, and I seek refuge in You from the evil in her and the evil with which
You have created her." {Allaahumma innee as'aluka min khairiha wa
khairi maa jabaltaha 'alaihi wa a'oodhubika min sharriha wa sharri maa
jabaltaha 'alaihi} [Aboo Dawood and others. Al-Bukhari in "Af'aalul-'Ibaad",
Aboo Dawood, Ibn Majah, al-Haakim, al-Baihaqee and Aboo Ya'laa with hasan
isnaad ...]
