321 - قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو سَعْدٍ عُميْرُ بْنُ مِرْداسٍ الدَّوْنقيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْراهِيمَ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْبَصْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لهيعةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبيْرِ، عَنْ جابرٍ، أنَّهُ سمعَ أَبَا سعيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَهَانِي أَنْ أَشْرَبَ قَائِمًا، وَأَنْ أَبُولَ مُسْتقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ»

Commentary
The Hadith forbids the people from drinking water in the standing position. Some of the scholars take this prohibition as not punishable, which means that drinking water while standing up, although permissible, is by no means the best option.
