وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
أَمَرَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أُبَىَّ 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 إِلاَّ فِي فُرُوعِ الْفَجْرِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yusuf that as- Sa'ib ibn Yazid said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered Ubayy ibn Kab and Tamim ad-Dari to watch the night in prayer with the people for eleven rakas.The reciterof the Qur'an would recite the Mi'in (a group of medium-sized suras) until we would be leaning on our staffs from having stood so long in prayer. And we would not leave until the approach of dawn."

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
روى غير مالك في هذا الحديث أحد وعشرون وهو الصحيح ولا أعلم أحدا قال فيه إحدى عشرة إلا مالكا
machine translationOthers besides Mālik narrated in this hadith "twenty-one", and that is the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) version. I do not know anyone who said "eleven" in it except Mālik.

إسناده في غاية الصحة
machine translationIts chain of transmission (isnād) is extremely sound (ṣaḥīḥ).
in موطأ مالك, p. 236 - Mubarakpūri
صحح إسناده النووي وغيره قلت في إسناده أبو عبد الله بن فنجويه الدينوري ولم أقف على ترجمته فمن يدعي صحة هذا الأثر فعليه أن يثبت كونه ثقة قابلا للاحتجاج وأما قول النيموي هو من كبار المحدثين في زمانه لا يسأل عن مثله فمما لا يلتفت إليه فإن مجرد كونه من كبار المحدثين لا يستلزم كونه ثقة
machine translational-Nawawī and others authenticated its chain (isnād). I say: in its chain is Abū ʿAbdillāh b. Fanjawayh al-Dīnawarī, and I have not found a biography for him. Whoever claims this report (athar) is authentic must establish that he is trustworthy (thiqah) and fit to be used as evidence. As for the statement of al-Nīmawī, "He was one of the great hadith scholars of his time, and someone like him is not to be questioned", it is not to be paid attention to, since merely being one of the great hadith scholars does not necessarily mean he is trustworthy (thiqah).
