Explanation of the Book of Hajj-08b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad, that is Ibn Salam, narrated to us that al-Fazari informed us from Asim from al-Sha'bi that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) narrated to him, saying: Sahih Ibn Hibban 15:152 Asim said, "And Ikrimah swore that he was on a camel at that time."
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah. The apparent meaning of the hadith is that he was not on a camel, but rather that he drank while standing. If someone asks: How do you reconcile his drinking while standing with his prohibition of drinking while standing? The answer is given: He was in a narrow place with people around him, and it was difficult for him to sit on the ground and then reach for the bucket and drink. This is similar to how he drank from a water skin hanging in his house, because the hanging skin is high, so he drank while standing out of necessity. Some have claimed that he drank while standing in order to drink a large amount, because when a person drinks while sitting, his stomach is compressed and he does not drink much, whereas if he is standing, he drinks a lot. However, there is a consideration regarding this view; the most likely explanation is that he drank while standing out of necessity. Look at the athar.
I gave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to drink from the water of Zamzam, and he drank while standing.
