حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ وَقَالَ لِي هُوَ اسْمِي وَكُنْيَتِي حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ سُعَيْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْخِمْسِ حَدَّثَنَا فُرَاتُ بْنُ أَحْنَفَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَامَ خَطِيبًا فِي الرَّحَبَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِكُوزٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَمَضْمَضَ مِنْهُ وَتَمَسَّحَ وَشَرِبَ فَضْلَ كُوزِهِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ وَهَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ هَكَذَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 797
It was narrated from Rib'i bin Hirash that 'Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) stood up to deliver a speech in ar-Rahbah. He praised and glorified Allah, then he said what Allah willed that he should say, then he called for a vessel of water. He rinsed his mouth, washed himself, and drank what was left over whilst standing. Then he said: I heard that one of you dislikes drinking whilst standing. This is the wudoo' of one who has not broken his wudoo'. And I saw the Messenger of Allah do this.
