Sunan Abi Dawud 3718 (Book 27, Hadith 50) #24008
Drinking Water While Standing

SUMMARY: Ali saw the Prophet drinking water while standing and defended his action by citing the Prophet's example.

Nazzal b. Samurah said : 'Ali asked for water and he drank it while standing. He then said: some people disapprove of doing this (drinking while standing ), but I saw the Messenger of Allah doing as I have done.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مِسْعَرِ بْنِ كِدَامٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَشَرِبَهُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رِجَالاً يَكْرَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ هَذَا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ مَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أَفْعَلُهُ
