´It is narrated from Jarud bin Mu’alla (may Allah be pleased with him) that` the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking while standing. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is ghareeb hasan,
2- Similarly, several people have narrated this hadith with the chain of «عن سعيد عن قتادة عن أبي مسلم عن الجارود عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم», and this hadith has been narrated through: «عن قتادة عن يزيد بن عبد الله ابن الشخير عن أبي مسلم عن الجارود أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم» that he said: “Picking up a fallen item of a Muslim (with the intention of taking possession of it) is a cause for burning in the Fire,”
3- In this chapter, hadiths have also been reported from Abu Sa’id Khudri, Abu Hurairah, and Anas (may Allah be pleased with them).
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
From the previous hadith, it is understood that eating and drinking while standing is prohibited.
From this hadith, its permissibility is indicated.
The reconciliation between the two hadiths is that the narration of Anas radi Allahu anhu will be interpreted as a discouragement of a lesser degree (i.e., not drinking while standing is better and preferable), while this hadith will be interpreted as permissibility with dislike.
That is, where there is a necessity, doing so is permissible.
