55. Anas said: "A Bedouin came to the Masjid and urinated, and the people yelled at him, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Leave him alone.' So they left him alone. When he had finished urinating, he ordered that a bucket (be brought) and poured over it." (Sahīh)

Commentary
Since the Bedouin had already begun to urinate, it was meaningless to stop him. The floor of the Masjid had already been made filthy. Had someone tried to stop him, he probably would not have been able to stop the flow of his urine, so other parts of the Masjid - and perhaps even the clothes of the people who were near him - would also have become sullied by his urine.
