حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا تُزْرِمُوهُ ". ثُمَّ دَعَا بِدَلْوٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَصُبَّ عَلَيْهِ.
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
A bedouin urinated in the mosque and the people ran to (beat) him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not interrupt his urination (i.e. let him finish)." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for a tumbler of water and poured the water over the place of urine.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 6025
This Hadith about calm correction shows the Prophet's wise handling of a tense moment. A Bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people ran toward him. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told them not to interrupt his urination. After he finished, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم called for a tumbler of water and poured it over the place of urine. The Hadith gives two clear lessons from the text. First, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stopped a reaction that could have made the situation worse. Second, he dealt with the impurity by cleaning the place. This report is often searched as the Bedouin urinated in the mosque hadith, and it highlights patience, control, and practical cleaning.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stopped people from reacting in a way that could worsen the situation.
- The affected place in the mosque was cleaned with water.
- Calm correction can be better than rushing in anger.
- Mosque cleanliness was treated with care and action.
