حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ: ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلَا تَرْحَمْ مَعَنَا أَحَدًا فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ تَحَجَّرْتَ وَاسِعًا» ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَعَجَّلَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ فَنَهَاهُمْ وَقَالَ: «أَهْرِيقُوا عَلَيْهِ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ سَجْلًا مِنْ مَاءٍ» ، يَعْنِي بَوْلَهُ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ».
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a Bedouin came to the mosque, and after praying, he said: O Allah! Have mercy on me and on Muhammad (peace be upon him), and do not include anyone else in this mercy. The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) turned towards him and said: You have made something vast (mercy) narrow. Shortly after, he urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed towards him, but you (the Prophet) stopped them and said: Pour a bucket of water over the urine. You have been sent to make things easy, not to make them difficult.
