Muwatta Malik #295
Prayer in Congregation
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn
Sulayman ibn Abi Hathma that Umar ibn al-Khattab missed Sulayman ibn
Abi Hathma in the subh prayer. In the morning he went to the market,
and Sulayman's house was between the market and the Prophet's mosque.
He passed ash-Shifa, Sulayman's mother, and said to her, "I did not
see Sulayman at subh." She replied, "He spent the night in prayer and
his eyes overcame him. Umar said, "I would rather be present at subh
than stand the whole night in prayer.
