Original Arabic
وعن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: بال أعرابى في المسجد فقام الناس إليه ليقعوا فيه، فقال النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم: “دعوه وأريقوا على بوله سجلاً من ماء، أو ذنوباً من ماء، فإنما بعثتم ميسرين ولم تبعثوا معسرين” ((رواه البخارى)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A bedouin urinated in the mosque and some people rushed to beat him up. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Leave him alone and pour a bucket of water over it. You have been sent to make things easy and not to make them difficult." [Al-Bukhari].
