Follow the example set by elders who are knowledgeable in Islamic law; Be mindful when performing certain acts according to Islamic teachings; Drink in an upright position if necessary.

This hadith speaks of the permissibility of drinking while standing. It was related by Yahya from Malik that Abu Jafar al-Qari said he saw Abdullah ibn Umar drinking while standing. This shows that it is permissible to drink in an upright position and not necessarily sitting down. The hadith also teaches us the importance of following the example set by our elders and those who are knowledgeable in Islamic law as they are more likely to be aware of what is permissible and what is not according to Islamic teachings. Furthermore, this hadith serves as a reminder for us to be mindful of our actions and ensure that we do not transgress any boundaries set by Allah SWT in His divine laws.
