Sunan an-Nasai 55 (Book 1, Hadith 55) #14661
Compassion and Mercy in the Mosque

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed mercy and compassion to a Bedouin who urinated in the mosque, instead of reprimanding him.

Anas said: "A Bedouin came to the Masjid and urinated, and the people yelled at him, but the Messenger of Allah 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".
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 ‏ "‏ اتْرُكُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَتَرَكُوهُ حَتَّى بَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِدَلْوٍ فَصُبَّ عَلَيْهِ
