It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that a Bedouin entered the mosque and, after performing two units of prayer, made this supplication: "O Allah! Have mercy on me and on Muhammad (peace be upon him), and do not have mercy on anyone else along with us." The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) turned towards him and said: "You have made something vast into something narrow." Soon after, this Bedouin began to urinate in the mosque, so the people rushed towards him, but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) instructed them: "You have only been sent to make things easy for people, not to make things difficult. Pour a bucket of water over this urine."

(Second chain) A Bedouin entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was present there. He supplicated, saying: "O Allah! Forgive me and Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and do not forgive anyone else along with us." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, smiled and said: "You have made something vast into something narrow." Then he walked away, and when he reached a corner of the mosque, he spread his legs and began to urinate. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up and said: "This house has been made solely for the remembrance of Allah and for prayer; urination is not to be done in it." Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, called for a bucket of water and poured it over the spot. After understanding the religion, the Bedouin used to say: "The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood towards me—may my parents be sacrificed for him—he neither spoke harshly to me, nor scolded me, nor hit me."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, he says: A Bedouin came and urinated in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Pour a bucket of water over it."
