Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم صَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعْتُ‏.‏

Translation

Ādam narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Maysarah narrated to us: I heard al-Nazzāl ibn Sabrah report from ʿAlī (may Allah be pleased with him) that he prayed the noon prayer, then sat attending to people’s needs in the open area of Kūfah until the afternoon prayer was due. Water was then brought to him. He drank, washed his face and hands, and wiped his head and feet. Then he stood and drank what remained while standing. He said, “Some people dislike drinking while standing, but the Prophet ﷺ did just as I have done.”
