Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2449b
"عن أَبى المنهال سيار بن سلامة: أَنَّ عمرَ بن الخطاب سقطَ عليه رجلٌ من المهاجرين وعمر يتهجدُ من اللَّيْلِ يَقْرَأُ بِفَاتِحة الْكِتَابِ لا يزيدُ عليها، ويُكَبِّرُ ويُسَبِّحُ ثم يركعُ ويسجدُ، فلما أصبحَ الرجلُ ذكر ذلك لعمرَ، فقال عمر: لأُمِّكَ الويلُ؛ ألَيْسَتْ تِلْكَ صلاةَ الملائكة؟ ".

"From Abu al-Minhal Sayyar ibn Salamah: that a man from the Muhajirun fell upon 'Umar ibn al-Khattab while 'Umar was performing the night prayer, reciting only Surat al-Fatihah without adding to it, saying Allahu Akbar and tasbih, then bowing and prostrating. When morning came, the man mentioned that to 'Umar. 'Umar said: 'Woe to your mother! Is that not the prayer of the angels?'"
