Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports that Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, last night I did something." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What was it?" He said: "The women of the house were with me. They said: 'You can recite and we cannot, so lead us in prayer.' So I led them in eight rak'ahs and the witr." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. The narrator says: We understood that the silence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was his approval.
Abdullah bin Ahmad recorded it, and its chain contains a narrator who is not named.
