English translation

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)

Arabic text

55 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَبَالَ فَصَاحَ بِهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اتْرُكُوهُ». فَتَرَكُوهُ حَتَّى بَالَ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِدَلْوٍ فَصُبَّ عَلَيْهِ

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.
