[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque with his companions when a Bedouin came in and urinated in the mosque. The companions said, "Stop him, stop him!" But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave him alone," and he called the man. He said to him, "These mosques are not suitable for anything impure, such as urine and filth. They are only for the recitation of the Quran, remembering Allah, and prayer." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered a man from the people to bring a bucket of water and pour it over the area that was urinated on. The man brought a bucket of water and poured it over it.

The kind treatment of the Prophet ﷺ to a man who urinated in Masjid al-Nabawi

muslim:285Zuhayr b. Ḥarb

While we were in the mosque with Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a desert Arab came and stood up and began to urinate in the mosque. The Companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Stop, stop, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Don't interrupt him; leave him alone. They left him alone, and when he finished urinating, Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said to him: These mosques are not the places meant for urine and filth, but are only for the remembrance of Allah, prayer and the recitation of the Qur'an, or Messenger of Allah said something like that. He (the narrator) said that he (the Holy Prophet) then gave orders to one of the people who brought a bucket of water and poured It over.  

مسلم:٢٨٥حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ عَمُّ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَامَ يَبُولُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَهْ مَهْ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تُزْرِمُوهُ دَعُوهُ فَتَرَكُوهُ حَتَّى بَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَسَاجِدَ لاَ تَصْلُحُ لِشَىْءٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَوْلِ وَلاَ الْقَذَرِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ﷻ وَالصَّلاَةِ وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَجَاءَ بِدَلْوٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَشَنَّهُ عَلَيْهِ  

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ «دَعُوهُ» أَرَادَ بِهِ التَّرَفُّقَ لِتَعْلِيمِهِ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ مِنْ دِينِ اللَّهِ وَأَحْكَامِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque when a Bedouin entered and sat down to urinate. The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Stop him, stop him!" but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not interrupt him." Then he called the man and said, "These mosques are not suitable for anything dirty or impure." As the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They are only for reciting the Qur'an or remembering Allah." Then he called for a bucket of water and poured it on the urine.
