Is there any authentic Hadeeth that you should spit out the water from the mouth if you stand and drink?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Is there any authentic hadith that you should spit out the water from mouth if you stand and drink?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

The Hadith in reference is as follows: 

حدثني عبد الجبار بن العلاء حدثنا مروان يعني الفزاري حدثنا عمر بن حمزة أخبرني أبو غطفان المري أنه سمع أبا هريرة يقول  قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يشربن أحد منكم قائما فمن نسي فليستقئ

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said “No person should stand and drink water, and if one forgetfully stood and drank it, it should be vomited out” (Saheeh Muslim, Hadeeth #2026)

The Fuqahaa have stated that is Makrooh (disliked) for one to stand and drink water. The order to vomit such water is a strong expression of condemning standing and drinking water[1]

  I bought shares in a listed company over a period of 7 years.  The shares were bought at various prices; some were at a higher price than the current share price, and some were bought at a lower price than the current share price. Some were bought with my own money, and some were bought with money borrowed on a 0% credit card. I recently discovered that the company is haram because it has no earnings, except from interest, and has large debt on which it pays interest. I understand that I must sell the shares, and any profit made has to be donated to charity. I need some advice on how to go about selling the shares, as the total value of my holding is less than what I paid/invested. Some shares are in profit, the majority are in a loss.  There are a few options available: 1)      Wait until the total value of the shares is equal to the  money I invested, and sell. This means that some share will be in profit,  and some will be at loss, but the profit cancels out the loss. 2)      Sell shares as each lot/tranche of shares reaches the price that I paid for them. Donate any excess to charity. This means that it may take  a long time to dispose of the shares, as the price will have to at least double. In fact, the price may never reach what I paid. Do I need to treat the shares purchased by borrowing money on credit card separately to the shares purchased using my own money. How should I deal with transaction costs? If it cost me £12 to buy 10 000 shares at 10p, and it costs me £12 to sell the shares, I have lost £24.
