Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلَا تَرْحَمْ مَعَنَا أَحَدًا فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَي
ْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ تَحَجَّرْتَ وَاسِعًا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ أَهْرِيقُوا عَلَيْهِ دَلْوًا مِنْ مَاءٍ أَوْ سَجْلًا مِنْ مَاءٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id — that a Bedouin entered the mosque and prayed two rak'ahs, then said: 'O Allah, have mercy on me and Muhammad — and do not have mercy on anyone with us!' the Prophet ﷺ turned to him and said: 'You have narrowed what is vast [God's mercy]!' The Bedouin soon urinated in the mosque and the people rushed toward him. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: 'You have been sent as those who make things easy — you were not sent as those who make things difficult. Pour a bucket [dalw] — or: a large bucket [sajl] — of water over it.'
