The questioner : Okay, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Has the hadith in al-Bukhari’s *Sahih* not reached you? It states: “Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) performed wudu, then drank while standing and said: ‘Some people dislike drinking while standing, but I saw the Messenger of Allah drinking while standing.’”
The student : It has reached me.
The Shaykh : Did Ali’s Satan embrace Islam?
The student : No, it did not.
The Shaykh : Then tell this shaykh, about whom you have spoken: May Allah conceal you.
The student : He mentioned this to us in a lesson in the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him).
Another student: May Allah conceal him.
The student: Amen, O Lord.
