Arabic (Original)
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.
English Translation
It was narrated that Maisarah said: I saw Hadrat 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) drinking whilst standing. I said to him: Are you drinking whilst standing? He said: If I drink whilst standing I saw the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) drinking whilst standing and if I drink whilst sitting, I saw the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) drinking whilst sitting.
