The Reciter: "Chapter: Pouring water over urine".
Khalid narrated to us, saying: And Sulayman narrated to us from Yahya ibn Sa'id, who said: I heard Anas ibn Malik say:
A Bedouin came and urinated in one corner of the mosque and the people shouted at him, but Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stopped them, and when he finished urinating, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered for a bucket of water which was spilt over it جاء أعرابي فبال في طائفة المسجد فزجره الناس ، فنهاهم النبي صلّى الله عليه وسلم ، فلما قضى بوله أمر النبي صلّى الله عليه وسلم بذنوب من ماء فأهريق عليه
Bulugh al-Maram 12
.

The Shaykh : These chapters were categorized by al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him), and they are in a single hadith narrated by Anas and Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them both). The story is that an Arab entered the mosque, and there was an open space in the mosque; an open space means a wide area. It was the Arab's habit that whenever he needed to relieve himself, he would sit and relieve himself in the open desert. So he assumed that this practice was established in this open area or wide space, and he sat down to urinate. When the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) saw him, they rebuked him and stopped him, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped them and said:
Do not stop him لا تزرموه
and he said:
You have been sent to make things easy (for the people); you have not been sent to make things difficult for them. إنما يعثتم ميسرين ولم تبعثوا معسرين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 147Sahih (Darussalam)
. When he finished urinating, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that a bucket of water be poured over it, meaning a bucket. Then he called the Arab and said:
These mosques are not suitable for any kind of harm or filth; they are only for prayer, reciting the Qur'an, and glorifying Allah إن هذه المساجد لا يصلح فيها شيء من الأذى والقذر إنما هي للصلاة وقراءة القرآن والتكبير
or as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said.
