Shaykh Ibrahim Niass RTA said, there are three things that when they visit a man, they shall never leave him till he passes away.
1. Poverty when it visits a lazy man.
2. Sickness that vists an old man.
3. Ignorance that visits a proud man.

*Drinking water while standing*
Drinking water while standing is not just contrary to the sunnah but it is an unhealthy practice.
When someone drinks water while standing, the water goes to the stomach faster. Studies have shown that this causes hernia.
If you drink water standing for a long time like this, the elasticity of the gastrointestinal tract increases, and therefore the function of the digestive tract may become abnormal.
If you drink at that time, the water will directly reach the bladder and leave. But when sitting, the parasympathetic nervous system kicks in, the body relaxes, the pace of activity slows down, the nerves calm down, and all the food and water you eat slowly moves out
