حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ تَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا فَقَالَ إِنْ أَشْرَبْ قَائِمًا فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا وَإِنْ أَشْرَبْ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْرَبُ قَاعِدًا.

It was narrated that Maisarah said: I saw ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) drinking whilst standing. I said to him: Are you drinking whilst standing? He said: If I drink whilst standing I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drinking whilst standing and if I drink whilst sitting, I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drinking whilst sitting.
