حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ النَّزَّالِ قَالَ أَتَی عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَی بَابِ الرَّحَبَةِ فَشَرِبَ قَائِمًا فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَکْرَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ کَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي فَعَلْتُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5616
Narrated An-Nazzal bin Sabra: `Ali offered the Zuhr prayer and then sat down in the wide courtyard (of the Mosque) of Kufa in order to deal with the affairs of the people till the `Asr prayer became due. Then water was brought to him and he drank of it, washed his face, hands, head and feet. Then he stood up and drank the remaining water while he was standing. and said, "Some people dislike to drink water while standing thought the Prophet did as I have just done."
