Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7906 — Those who held the view of standing

Nu'aym bin Ziyad Abu Talhah al-Ansari says: I heard Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) saying on the pulpit of Hims: We prayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the twenty-third night of Ramadan until the first third of the night; then we prayed with him on the twenty-fifth night until half the night; and on the twenty-seventh night we prayed so long that we feared we would miss the falah. We used to call the suhur (pre-dawn meal) the falah.
