Examples from the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in calling to Allah, and the story of the Bedouin who urinated in the mosque.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If we wished, we could give examples of this from the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the teacher of good, the best of callers to Allah, and the wisest of callers.
A Bedouin entered the mosque one day. Who is a Bedouin? A resident of the desert, a nomad, who does not know what is required in terms of respecting mosques.
So he entered the mosque and sat in a corner of the mosque to urinate. What is the ruling on urinating in the mosque? It is forbidden, it is not permissible.
But he saw this wide open space and thought it was like the desert, so he sat down and urinated.
The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) are the most jealous people after the prophets regarding the religion of Allah. They stood up to rebuke him and scold him, but the one to whom Allah granted wisdom, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), stopped them and said: meaning, do not stop his urination, let him urinate.
Allah is the Greatest, he is urinating in the mosque? Yes, he has just started.
If this man had stood up as the Companions rebuked him, what would be the result of this?
His urination would be cut off, and he might be harmed, his garment would become impure, and if he lifted his garment from his urine, his private parts would be exposed. Also, the mosque might become more polluted. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, do not stop his urination.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left him urinating, and when he finished urinating, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a bucket of water to be poured over it.
The harm was removed by what? By wisdom. The man was safe from harm, his clothes were safe from impurity, and the mosque was safe from increased pollution. Then, this impurity that occurred in the mosque was purified by the water, and the effect of this act was completely removed. It is said that this man said: "O Allah, have mercy on me and on Muhammad, and do not have mercy on anyone with us," because the Companions rebuked him. And when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished urinating, he called him and said: or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
What do you say about this wisdom?
In my opinion, if one of the people came to urinate on this roof and he was ignorant, you would rush to him or drive him away.
Steady, all of you, are you not ashamed? Fear Allah, be mindful of Allah, this is the Sacred Mosque... etc.
And this is a mistake.
We do not believe that a believer in Allah and the Last Day would stand and urinate in the mosque except out of ignorance, and ignorance has its own state.
Okay, that is one point.
