📖 1 min readعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: بال أعرابي في المسجد، فقام الناس إليه لِيَقَعُوا فيه، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : «دعوه وأريقوا على بوله سَجْلاً من ماء، أو ذَنُوبًا من ماء، فإنما بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ، ولم تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ».
A Bedouin man got up and started to urinate inside the Prophet’s Mosque. So, the people attacked him with their tongues, not with their hands; i.e. they shouted at him in scorn. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked them to leave him alone, and when the man finished urinating, the Prophet ordered them to pour a bucket of water over the place where he urinated, and explained to them that they were callers to facilitating matters, not to making matters difficult and thus causing people to turn away from guidance.
