147. Abū Hurairah narrated: "A Bedouin entered the Masjid while the Prophet ﷺ was sitting. He prayed, then when he was finished, he said: 'O Allāh! Have mercy upon me and Muḥammad, and do not have mercy on anyone along with us.' The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Scholars and A'immah of Hijāz, Mālik, Shāfi'i and Aḥmad hold this very opinion, that the earth becomes pure just with water. However some other narrations inform that the earth also become pure by getting dry.
