حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ سَقَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ فَشَرِبَ قَائِمًا . فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعِكْرِمَةَ فَحَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَ .

Ibn ʿAbbās reported: I gave the Prophet ﷺ water from Zamzam, and he drank while standing. I mentioned this to ʿIkrimah, who swore by Allah that he had not done so.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report preserves both Ibn ʿAbbās’s statement and ʿIkrimah’s oath denying that the Prophet ﷺ did this; no explanation of their disagreement is given.
فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعِكْرِمَةَ فَحَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَ .
Ibn ʿAbbās reports that the Prophet ﷺ drank Zamzam water standing, while ʿIkrimah swears that he did not; the report does not reconcile the difference.
Why does ʿIkrimah deny the act that Ibn ʿAbbās reports?
