Hadith 248
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي رَمَضَانَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ أَوْزَاعٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَيُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فَيُصَلِّي بِصَلَاتِهِ الرَّهْطُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَانِي لَوْ جَمَعْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى قَارِئٍ وَاحِدٍ ، لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ " فَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ لَيْلَةً أُخْرَى وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاةِ قَارِئِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " نِعْمَتِ الْبِدْعَةُ هَذِهِ وَالَّتِي تَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي تَقُومُونَ " يَعْنِي آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ
It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abdul Qari that I went out with Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) to the mosque in Ramadan and saw that the people were separated and scattered. Some were praying with eight or ten men behind one person. So Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I think it would be better if I gathered them all behind one reciter. Then he gathered them all behind Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). Abdur Rahman says that then I came with them the next night and saw that all the people were praying behind Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is a good innovation, and the time when you sleep (i.e., the latter part of the night) is better than the time when you are praying, meaning the early part of the night. And the people used to stand in prayer in the early part of the night.
Hadith 249
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " أَمَرَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أُبَيَّ 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 إِلَّا فِي فُرُوعِ الْفَجْرِ
It is narrated from Sa’ib bin Yazid that Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka’b and Sayyiduna Tamim Dari (may Allah be pleased with them both) to lead eleven rak’ahs in prayer. Sa’ib bin Yazid said that the imam would recite one hundred verses in each rak’ah, to the extent that we would support ourselves with sticks while standing, and we would not finish except near dawn.
Hadith 250
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " كَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي رَمَضَانَ بِثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً "
It is narrated from Yazid bin Roman that during the time of Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), people used to pray twenty-three rak'ahs.
Hadith 251
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْأَعْرَجَ يَقُولُ : " مَا أَدْرَكْتُ النَّاسَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ يَلْعَنُونَ الْكَفَرَةَ فِي رَمَضَانَ " قَالَ : " وَكَانَ الْقَارِئُ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ فَإِذَا قَامَ بِهَا فِي اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً ، رَأَى النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ خَفَّفَ "
Dawud bin Husayn heard from Abdur Rahman bin Harmuz A'raj, who said: I found people cursing the disbelievers in Ramadan, and the Imam would recite Surah Al-Baqarah in eight rak'ahs. When he recited it in twelve rak'ahs, the people felt that it was a relief.
Hadith 252
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، يَقُولُ : " كُنَّا نَنْصَرِفُ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَنَسْتَعْجِلُ الْخَدَمَ بِالطَّعَامِ مَخَافَةَ الْفَجْرِ "
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr, he used to say: I heard from my father, he used to say that when we finished Tarawih in Ramadan, we would ask the servants to bring food quickly out of fear that dawn might break.
Hadith 253
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، " أَنَّ ذَكْوَانَ أَبَا عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ عَبْدًا لِعَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَعْتَقَتْهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ مِنْهَا ، كَانَ يَقُومُ يَقْرَأُ لَهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ "
It is narrated from Urwah bin Zubair that Dhakwan, who was a slave of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and whom Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) freed after her death, used to stand and lead them in prayer during Ramadan.
