malik:3-27Mālik > Nāfiʿ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to recite in all four rakas as when he prayed alone - in every raka the umm al-Qur'an and another sura from the Qur'an. Sometimes he would recite two or three suras in one raka in the obligatory prayer. Similarly, he recited the umm al-Qur'an and two suras in the first two rakas of maghrib.  

مالك:٣-٢٧وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ يَقْرَأُ فِي الأَرْبَعِ جَمِيعًا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ أَحْيَانًا بِالسُّورَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ كَذَلِكَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ سُورَةٍ

[Machine] Abdullah bin Umar used to recite in all four units of prayer, in each unit, Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah. Sometimes he would recite two or three Surahs in a single unit of the obligatory prayer. He would also recite Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah in the two units of the Maghrib prayer. These details are mentioned in the narration of Ibn Bukair, and Al-Shafi'i did not mention anything specifically about the Maghrib prayer.  

البيهقي:٢٤٨٠وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ مَالِكٌ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأَرْبَعِ جَمِيعًا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ وَكَانَ أَحْيَانًا يَقْرَأُ بِالسُّورَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ كَذَلِكَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَةٍ سُورَةٍ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الشَّافِعِيُّ الْمَغْرِبَ
