ahmad:1173Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Maysarah > al-Nazzāl b. Sabrah

Some people dislike drinking whilst standing, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did what I have done, and this is the wudoo’ of one who has not broken his wudoo’. An-Nazzal bin Sabrah said. I heard ‘Ali ؓ ... and he narrated a similar hadeeth, except that he said: An earthenware jar with a handle was brought to him.  

أحمد:١١٧٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ

أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَلِيًّا صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ فِي حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ أُتِيَ بِتَوْرٍ فَأَخَذَ حَفْنَةَ مَاءٍ فَمَسَحَ يَدَيْهِ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ وَرَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَضْلَهُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَكْرَهُونَ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا وَهُمْ قِيَامٌ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ وَهَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ

ʿAli offered the Zuhr prayer and then sat down in the wide courtyard (of the Mosque) of Kufa in order to deal with the affairs of the people till the ʿAsr prayer became due. Then water was brought to him and he drank of it, washed his face, hands, head and feet. Then he stood up and drank the remaining water while he was standing. and said, "Some people dislike to drink water while standing thought the Prophet did as I have just done."

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فِي حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ فِي رَحَبَةِ الْكُوفَةِ حَتَّى حَضَرَتْ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِمَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ وَذَكَرَ رَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَشَرِبَ فَضْلَهُ وَهْوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَكْرَهُونَ الشُّرْبَ قَائِمًا وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعْتُ

"I saw 'Ali (may Allah be please with him) praying Zuhr, then he sat to tend to the people's needs, and when the time for 'Asr came, a vessel of water was brought to him. He took a handful of it and wiped his face, forearms, head and feet with it, then he took what was left and drank standing up. He said: 'People dislike this, but I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing it. This is the Wudu' of one who has not committed Hadath."

[Machine] We prayed with Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, the afternoon prayer. Then we went out to the open area where he called for a container with a drink in it. He took it and rinsed his mouth, inhaled it into his nostrils, wiped his face, his arms, his head, and his feet. Then he drank the remaining of it while standing. Then he said, "Indeed, there are people who dislike to drink while standing. However, the Messenger of Allahﷺ performed similar to what I have done, and this is the ablution of one who did not invalidate it."

[Machine] We prayed Dhuhr with Ali, then we went out to the spacious area. He called for a container containing a drink, and he took it. He rinsed his mouth, snorted water up his nose, wiped his face, arms, head, and feet. Then he drank from the remaining water while standing. Then he said, "Indeed, there are people who dislike drinking while standing, and they are standing. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did the same as I did and said, 'This is the ablution for those who have not performed ablution.'"
