The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and saw that the people were praying during (the night of) Ramadan in the corner of the mosque. He asked: Who are these people ? It was said to him that those were people who had not learnt Quran. But Ubayy b. Ka'b is praying and they would pray behind him. The Prophet ﷺ said: They did right and it is good what they did. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not strong, the narrator Muslim b. Khalid is weak. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1377)
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ فِي رَمَضَانَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ » فَقِيلَ نَاسٌ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ قُرْآنٌ وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَصَابُوا أَوْ نِعْمَ مَا صَنَعُوا»
