1879. Qatādah narrated from Anas: "The Prophet ﷺ prohibited that a man should drink while standing." (Qatādah said:) So it was said: "And eating?" He (Anas) said: "That is worse." (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is [Hasan] Sahīh.
١٨٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى أَنْ يَشْرَبَ الرَّجُلُ قَائِمًا». فَقِيلَ: الْأَكْلُ؟ قَالَ: ذَاكَ أَشَدُّ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.

It was the constant habit of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to eat while sitting. He even forbade others to eat or drink while standing. There is, therefore, no sanction for eating while standing ﷺ, as is a common sight in public these days.
