Muwatta Malik #251
Prayer in Ramadan
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَمَرَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ وَتَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ أَنْ يَقُومَا، لِلنَّاسِ بِإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً قَالَ وَقَدْ كَانَ الْقَارِئُ يَقْرَأُ بِالْمِئِينَ حَتَّى كُنَّا نَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى الْعِصِيِّ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ وَمَا كُنَّا نَنْصَرِفُ إِلاَّ فِي فُرُوعِ الْفَجْرِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yusuf that as-
Sa'ib ibn Yazid said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered Ubayy ibn Kab and
Tamim ad-Dari to watch the night in prayer with the people for eleven
rakas.The reciterof the Qur'an would recite the Mi'in (a group of
medium-sized suras) until we would be leaning on our staffs from
having stood so long in prayer. And we would not leave until the
approach of dawn."
