3424 - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَهَى عَنِ الشُّرْبِ قَائِمًا»

Commentary
Some scholars are of the opinion that this ruling means undesirability, i.e., drinking in sitting positions is preferable. Some others are of the opinion that drinking while standing was peculiar to the Prophet ﷺ. However, we should follow the Ahādīth that prevent from such practice. No doubt, it is better to avoid drinking in a standing position.
