How to reconcile the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking while standing with the fact that he drank while standing here?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the reconciliation between the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking while standing and the fact that he drank while standing here?

The Shaykh : The reconciliation between them is need. The Messenger was in need to drink while standing because the space was narrow, and it would cause him and others fatigue.

The questioner : This, O Shaykh, indicates that he drank from the bucket?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
