Following the Example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of following the example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in all aspects of life.

It was narrated that Maisarah said: I saw 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) drinking whilst standing. I said to him: Are you drinking whilst standing? He said: If I drink whilst standing I saw the Messenger of Allah drinking whilst standing and if I drink whilst sitting, I saw the Messenger of Allah drinking whilst sitting.
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 يَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا وَإِنْ أَشْرَبْ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَشْرَبُ قَاعِدًا‏.‏
