Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ، أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، شَرِبَ قَائِمًا فَنَظَرَ النَّاسُ فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا تَنْظُرُونَ إِنْ أَشْرَبْ قَائِمًا فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا وَإِنْ أَشْرَبْ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْرَبُ قَاعِدًا.
English Translation
It was narrated from Zadhan that `Hadrat Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be well pleased with him) drank whilst standing and the people looked at him and found that strange. Hadrat 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) said: Why are you looking at me like that? If I drink whilst standing. I saw the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) drink whilst standing, and if I drink whilst sitting, I saw the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) drink whilst sitting
