"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُو قَاعِدٌ فَصَلَّى ركْعَتَين وَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمني وارْحَمْ مُحُمَّدًا، ولا تَرْحَم مَعَنَا أَحَدًا، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ: تَحَجَّرتَ واسِعًا فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ الأَعْرَابِيُّ أن تَنَحَّى فَبَالَ فِي نَاحِيةِ الْمسْجِدِ، فَعجلَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ : صُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ، أَوْ سجْلًا إِنَّما بُعِثْتمُ مُيَسِّرِين ولم تُبْعُثوا مُعَسِّرينَ".

A bedouin entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting. He offered two rak'ahs of prayer, according to the version of Ibn 'Abdah. He then said: O Allah, have mercy on me and on Muhammad and do not have mercy on anyone along with us. The Prophet ﷺ said: You have narrowed down (a thing) that was broader. After a short while he passed a water in the corner of the mosque. The people rushed towards him. The Prophet ﷺ prevented them and said: You have been sent to facilitate and not create difficulties. Pour a bucket of water upon it.

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فَصَلَّى قَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدَةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلاَ تَرْحَمْ مَعَنَا أَحَدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَقَدْ تَحَجَّرْتَ وَاسِعًا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ بَالَ فِي نَاحِيةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ فَنَهَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ صُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ سَجْلاً مِنْ مَاءٍ أَوْ قَالَ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ

"A Bedouin entered the Masjid while the Prophet was sitting. He prayed, then when he was finished, he said: 'O Allah! Have mercy upon me and Muhammad, and do not have mercy on anyone along with us.' The Prophet turned, towards him and said: 'You have restricted something that is unrestricted.' It was not long before he was urinating in the Masjid. So the people rushed to him. But Prophet said: 'Pour a bucket of water over it - or - a tumbler of water over it.' Then he said: 'You have been sent to make things easy (for the people); you have not been sent to make things difficult for them.'"

دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فَصَلَّى فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلاَ تَرْحَمْ مَعَنَا أَحَدًا فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ تَحَجَّرْتَ وَاسِعًا فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَهْرِيقُوا عَلَيْهِ سَجْلاً مِنْ مَاءٍ أَوْ دَلْوًا مِنْ مَاءٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ
