967 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ كَمَا أَقُولُ لَكَ لَا نَحْتَاجُ فِيهِ إِلَي أَحَدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ الْمَسْجِدَ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ فَصَلَّي، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمُّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا، وَلَا تَرْحَمْ مَعَنَا أَحَدًا، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ تَحَجَّرْتَ وَاسِعًا» ، فَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَهْرِيقُوا عَلَيْهِ سَجْلًا مِنْ مَاءٍ، أَوْ دَلْوًا مِنْ مَاءٍ» ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ، وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A Bedouin entered the mosque. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was present. He stood up and performed prayer. After finishing the prayer, he supplicated: "O Allah! Have mercy on me and on Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and do not have mercy on anyone else along with us." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards him and said: "You have narrowed something that is vast." After that, he began to urinate in the mosque, so the people rushed towards him, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pour a bucket of water over it." (Regarding one word here, the narrator is in doubt.) The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have been sent to make things easy, not to make things difficult."

380. Commentary:
➊ If impurity comes upon the ground or other solid materials (such as stone, glass, wood, etc.), it is sufficient to remove the actual impurity and, in the case of urine, to pour water over it; there is generally no need to scrape off the soil.
➋ It was the practice of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) to perform the prayer of greeting the mosque (tahiyyat al-masjid).
➌ Supplications should always be comprehensive and encompassing.
➍ In dealing with ignorant people—especially in matters of religious instruction—one should act with compassion.
