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."
