Is it correct that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab prayed twenty-three rak'ahs of tarawih?

The Shaykh : Here is a question: Did 'Umar ibn al-Khattab pray twenty rak'ahs of tarawih? And is it true that the previously mentioned supplication... that the Companions used to sway during dhikr like the swaying of branches?
So the question contains two parts:
The first: that 'Umar led the people in twenty rak'ahs of tarawih. We have a treatise on this topic, so we will answer briefly:
What is established in the most authentic book among the books of the Imams—pay attention to what I am saying, it is not the most authentic book after the Book of Allah; the most authentic book after the Book of Allah is al-Bukhari and Muslim, but the most authentic book among the books of the Imams in relation to him is "Muwatta' al-Imam Malik"—narrates in it with a sound chain from al-Sa'ib ibn Yazid: "That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered Ubayy ibn Ka'b to lead the people in the night prayer of Ramadan for eleven rak'ahs." This is the most authentic book of an Imam among the four Imams, and it says—narrates with a sound chain—from 'Umar: that he ordered Ubayy ibn Ka'b to lead the people for eleven rak'ahs. And this matches the hadith of the Lady A'ishah. And I do not want—also—to say: and in it is this, and although some of the opponents have delved into this topic with strange and very strange ignorance, I do not allow myself to delve into such a discussion in this gathering, as it is a waste of time for us and for you. So I will suffice with this... in the answer to the first part of the question.
As for the people of dhikr and the majalis, and their argument that the Companions used to sway during dhikr like the swaying of branches; this—in reality—is a trick we know from Akhzam!! Where is this narration? Is it in "Sahih al-Bukhari"? Is it in "Sahih Muslim"? Is it in the four Sunan? The six books? Is it in any of the six hundred and sixty books? Absolutely not, there is no mention of this hadith or this athar—with the most authentic—except in one book, and if you hear its name, you will know its value in terms of narration. This book is the book "Hilyat al-Awliya" by Abu Nu'aym al-Isfahani, which is full of weak and fabricated hadiths, and no one can distinguish the established hadith in this book from others except the scholars who are well-established in the science of hadith in terms of terminology, men, and knowledge of the narrators of hadith; due to the distance between the author of the book and the Messenger and the righteous Salaf. This hadith is narrated by Abu Nu'aym in the aforementioned book with a chain in which there is a man whose identity is unknown; is he Muslim? His name is Muslim, but is he Muslim? Truly, this is unknown!!
The scholars of hadith counted among the types of criticism (jarh) is ignorance (jahl), so so-and-so is unknown, and ignorance in their view is of two types: essential ignorance (jahl 'ayni) and situational ignorance (jahl hali). Essential ignorance is when they do not know his name, where he lived? Did he seek knowledge? Did he read hadith? Who did he study from? Absolutely not, all of that is not known about this person who is essentially unknown.
The one who is situationally unknown is in a better state and better condition than him, and yet his hadith remains weak. The narration of these Salaf swaying during dhikr like the swaying of branches is narrated by Abu Nu'aym with a chain in which there is an unknown man; so let these people fear Allah, but they—unfortunately!—cannot! What do they do with this narration? They cannot distinguish its authentic from its weak, but the truth is that they cannot fear Allah?! They can do so with great ease; because Allah—Mighty and Majestic—says: , so our Lord will not hold you accountable if you do not narrate this athar, He will not ask you or say to you on the Day of Resurrection: Why did you not tell your group about this athar? But He will ask you: Why did you tell them about it and narrate it to them as if it were established, and mislead them into thinking that this swaying and this dancing in dhikr is from the practice of the righteous Salaf, and thereby you misled the masses of people, and the narration is not established from the righteous Salaf? ... about that; whereas if you had remained silent... I do not think, as is known to everyone; therefore the answer briefly is: this is an athar that is not authentic.
Now—also—we will suffice with answering these questions; because the time is late, and we hope from our brothers that they do not increase upon us with their questions until we finish answering these questions.
