Arabic text

3301 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو السَّائِبِ سَلْمُ بْنُ جُنَادَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: " كُنَّا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: نَأْكُلُ وَنَحْنُ نَمْشِي، وَنَشْرَبُ، وَنَحْنُ قِيَامٌ "

Commentary

a. Imām Ibn Hajar رحمه الله collected the Ahādīth that permit drinking while standing and the 'Ahādīth that prohibit that, and mentioned the different opinions of scholars in this matter. Finally, he concluded that drinking while standing is merely not recommended. (Fathul-Bari, volume 10, 103 to 106) Allāh knows best. b. Eating while standing is more disliked than drinking.
