ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ النَّجَاسَةَ الْمُتَفَشِّيَةَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِذَا غَلَبَ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءُ الطَّاهِرُ حَتَّى أَزَالَ عَيْنَهَا طَهَّرَهَا

A bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat him. Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to leave him and pour a bucket or a tumbler (full) of water over the place where he has passed urine. The Prophet then said, " You have been sent to make things easy (for the people) and you have not been sent to make things difficult for them." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6128)  

ابن حبّان:١٤٠٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَثَارَ إِلَيْهِ أُنَاسٌ لِيَقَعُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَعُوهُ وَأَهْرِيقُوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ دَلْوًا مِنْ مَاءٍ أَوْ سَجْلًا مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ»
