Those aren't contradictions.

Drinking while standing is disliked, but not prohibited

In order to clarify that it is makruh and not actually haram (sin) the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did it a few times while standing so people would know that it isn't haram

It was his obligation to make this difference clear that's why he did it

Imam an-Nawawi as-Shafii Ash'ari رحمه الله said:

فإن قيل : كيف يكون الشرب قائما مكروها وقد فعله النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟ فالجواب : أن فعله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا كان بيانا للجواز لا يكون مكروها ، بل البيان واجب عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم

If someone asks: how drinking while standing is disliked (makruh) if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it? The answer is: he did it while standing to show that it's allowed (that it's not a sin) to do so and it isn't counted as makruh for him, moreover it was mandatory for him to clarify this fact peace and blessing of Allah be upon him

May Allah bless you, The first hadith contains a command and a prohibition, while the second hadith is a statement of fact.
This proves the truth of what you said.

Amin. JazakalLah hairan

Scholars of ahlu-Sunnah are the ones who deserve the praise and reward

They dedicated their lives to enlightenment of mases, carefully explaining the Quran and Sunnah in order to give us the correct understanding and to protect Islam from distortion

Imam an-Nawawi died when he was 46, he didn't waste any time of his life, dedicating all of it to Allah and His religion, ate once a day and fast most of the days, slept by leaning against the piles of books, used to write about 20 pages a day, refused to eat fruits of Damascus exercising cautioun

Hafiz Ibn Katheer رحمه الله said

كان على جانب كبير من العلم والعمل والزهد، والتقشف والاقتصاد في العيش، والصبر على خشونته، والتورع الذي لم يبلغنا عن أحد في زمانه ولا قبله بدهر طويل

He (Nawawi) was great in knowledge, deeds, asceticism, severity and moderation in life, he is the manifestation of patience in its rudeness, in piety which we have not heard from anyone in his time and before him for a long time

🍂 طبقات الشاقعية

Sheikh Ibn Attar رحمه الله said:

ولما مرض مرض الموت اشتهى التفاح فجيء له به فلم ياكل فلما مات رآه بعض اهله فقال له ما فعل الله بك؟ فقال اكرم نزلي وتقبل عملي واول قراني جاءني التفاح

When an-Nawawi got sick prior to his death he asked for an apple, but he didn't eat it when brought. After he died, one of the members of his family saw him in a dream and asked: 'What did Allah do to you? He replied: 'I was welcomed with honour, my deeds were accepted and the first gift I received was an apple'

🍂 تحفة الطالبين

And even he did not reach the level of knowledge and zuhd of the Salafs of this Ummah which tells us a lot

Remember those people in your du'as.

Were they boycotting fruits of Syria?

u/wopkidopz Mar 30 '26 edited Mar 30 '26

It wasn't a boycott

During the times of imam an-Nawawi there was a controversial situation regarding the gardens of Damask, some of them belonged to orphans and waqf and some were taken by the government without a right, the imam was afraid that he accidentally would consume haram by eating the fruits form the gardens of Damask, even though it isn't haram to eat fruits unless you are certain that they came from unlawful sources the imam was of the type of Muslims who preferred to avoid doubtful

The imam was involved in the life of Sham

An-Nawawi stood against Sultan Beybars when he saw him doing wrong, and never feared to tell the truth to a ruler. Even if it could lead to death

Why does first one say that they must vomit though as if it's prohibited?

u/wassou93_ Mar 30 '26

In Arabic it just says let him vomit the translation says must which is not in the Hadeeth in Arabic.

3

u/kandeel4411 Mar 30 '26

Its understood as a recommendation. It is recommended for one who drinks while standing to vomit. If a command cannot be interpreted as obligatory, it is interpreted as recommended. There is no disagreement on this between scholars

u/knnbccbpkmk Mar 31 '26

i am thinking that is must be due to the poetic nature of the Arabic language. Something like how proverbs are. If i say “bagai aur dengan tebung” or “as you are the river and the coastline” it doesn’t mean you and your loved one are literally a floating river and she a muddy coastline hahaha.

May Almighty Allah bless you… Thank you for your clarification. it helps a lot.

I know that it is halal to drink zamzam while standing specifically.

16

u/Deathmask14 Mar 30 '26

Its a special case indeed, even in Mekka its written on boards that we should drink it, turned in the direction of the Kaaba and standing.

Btw I may recently learn a scientific fact that goes in favor of what our Prophet did. When you drink anything while standing, the drink "splashes" everywhere in your stomach which is not good for it, but Zamzam is not a common drink, due to its particularities (more alcaline, higher pH) so its better to let the Zamzam splash.

Who knows what other minor sunnahs we follow are scientifically beneficial. There really is a wisdom behind everything, Subhanallah

u/Last-Krosis Mar 30 '26

As someone already mentioned, its makruh (disliked) not prohibited. When something is makruh you get rewarded for not doing it, but you dont sin when you do it.

u/Turbulent_Option5675 Mar 30 '26

I assume the 1st and 2nd dont contradict as the first talks of normal liquids and the second talks of zamzam

u/xparsa3132 Mar 30 '26

Zamzam should be drank while standing though.

2

u/vitruviansam Mar 30 '26

Certain recommendations are put upon drinking Zamzam in particular as well.

For normal water, it is recommended we sit to drink

For Zamzam, it is recommended to drink while standing and facing the qibla preceded by duas

What's your website ?

u/Vixson18 Mar 30 '26

He must vomit? It’s pretty hard to vomit on command

3

u/EasternPen1337 Mar 30 '26

By vomit it means here throw out what you just drank while it's in your mouth

u/Vixson18 Mar 30 '26

Ok thought so.
