[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I performed an act last night." The Prophet asked, "What is it?" He replied, "There were women with me in my house, and they told me that you don't recite the evening prayer. So, I led them in prayer and I prayed eight units of prayer and also the witr prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent, and then he said, "We considered his silence as his approval of what he had done."  

أحمد:٢١٠٩٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ سَمَّاهُ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ جَارِيَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَارَسُولَ اللهِ عَمِلْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ عَمَلًا قَالَ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ نِسْوَةٌ مَعِي فِي الدَّارِ قُلْنَ لِي إِنَّكَ تَقْرَأُ وَلَا نَقْرَأُ فَصَلِّ بِنَا فَصَلَّيْتُ ثَمَانِيًا وَالْوَتْرَ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّ سُكُوتَهُ رِضًا بِمَا كَانَ
