Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, something happened with me last night: some women gathered in my house who could not recite the Qur'an, so I led them in eight rak'ahs of prayer and then prayed the witr." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, and this silence was akin to approval.
