Muwatta Malik Book 6, Hadith 6
Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that he
heard al-Araj say, "I never saw the people in Ramadan, but that they
were cursing the disbelievers." He added, "The reciter of Qur'an used
to recite surat al-Baqara in eight rakas and if he did it in twelve
rakas the people would think that he had made it easy."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yazid ibn Ruman said, "The people used to watch the night in prayer during Ramadan for twenty- three rakas in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said, "I heard my father say, 'We finished praying in Ramadan and the servants hurried with the food, fearing the approach of dawn.' "
