"عن أُبى بن كعبٍ أن عمر بن الخطاب أمر أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّى بِاللَّيْلِ فِى رَمَضَانَ، فقال: إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَصُومُون النَّهَارَ وَلَا يُحْسِنُونَ أَنْ يَقْرَأوا، فَلَوْ قَرَأتَ الْقُرآنَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِاللَّيْلِ؟ فقال: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: هَذَا شَىْءٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ، فقال: قَدْ عَلِمْتُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ حَسَنٌ، فصلى بهم عشرين ركعةً".

"Narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka'b: Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered Ubayy ibn Ka'b to lead the night prayer in Ramadan. He said: 'The people fast by day and do not know how to recite. If you recited the Quran to them at night?' He said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, this is something that did not happen.' He said: 'I know, but it is good.' So he led them in twenty rak'ahs."
