Did it come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he drank while standing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Our brother Imad, Shaykh, has something, I mean, related to water.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: He wants to ask you, Shaykh.

The questioner: Shaykh, the prohibition of drinking while standing is reported, so when I drink while sitting, someone says that it is reported from the Prophet - (peace and blessings be upon him) - that he drank while standing. Is this thing correct?
The student: He used to drink while sitting; this is his research and this is his statement.

The Shaykh: We see people drinking while standing and are told to sit, while people drinking while sitting are told to stand up because the Messenger drank while standing. Do you mean what you are saying?
The student: Now it will be doubled.

The questioner: Did it come that the Messenger drank, I mean, while standing?

The Shaykh: Is this not his question?
The student: This is not the question.

The Shaykh: This is not the question, may Allah help you.
The student: May Allah accept it, may Allah help you with us, Shaykh.

The Shaykh: The Messenger drank while standing, and drank while sitting. Which of the two is better according to the scholars unanimously: drinking while sitting or drinking while standing? The answer is: while sitting. Do you understand this?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: So, if you meant your previous question exactly, you must tell the one who told you that the Messenger drank while standing: "Yes, and he drank while sitting, and drinking while sitting is better than drinking while standing." Now we are not finished; this is an introduction and this is a preamble, and this is a taste, a taste, so that it becomes a good and big catch. This is what was mentioned by the companions that the Messenger - (peace and blessings be upon him) - this is the moon there, it started to rise, or what?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: What Allah willed, we are facing south now, approximately south, like this, no?
The student: East.
Another student : Abu Ayyub, is this the east or the south?
The student: This is the qiblah.
Another student : Yes, this is the east.
The student: This is the east.
Another student : This is the east.

The Shaykh: Yes, put your hand and fix it. Where is the east? No, why did you turn your back to your companion?
The student: He went to the right, Shaykh.

The Shaykh: And now, like this, you pray.
The student: I pray like this here in this place.

The Shaykh: Yes, in this place, like this you pray. So, this means east.
The student: South.

The Shaykh: A little south, okay.
The student: You scared me, Shaykh, may Allah forgive you.

The Shaykh: Amen, I always accept the supplication.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh: Because it is a supplication for good, may Allah forgive us all.
