Ease and mercy.

He emerges from the remote desert,
0:15
with his harsh coarseness,
0:17
his unkempt appearance,
0:19
and his speech steeped in severity and strangeness.
0:23
He enters the mosque, illuminated by remembrance and spiritual breezes,
0:27
and commits his heinous act within it.
0:31
The people cry out,
0:33
but the Chosen One, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, treats him with gentleness,
0:37
saying, "Leave him, leave him."
0:39
Yes.
0:42
The story of the Bedouin who urinated in the mosque,
0:45
a place of purity and serenity,
0:47
of reverence and sanctity.
0:50
Yet he was unaware of all that.
0:53
Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
0:56
"While we were in the mosque with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:02
a Bedouin came,
1:04
and stood up to urinate in the mosque.
1:07
The Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
1:11
'Stop, stop!'
1:13
He said:
1:14
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
1:18
'Do not interrupt him; leave him.'
1:21
So they left him until he finished urinating.
1:24
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called him
1:28
and said to him,
1:30
'These mosques
1:32
are not suitable for any of this urine or filth;
1:36
they are only for the remembrance of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,
1:39
for prayer, and for the recitation of the Qur'an,'
1:42
or as the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said.
1:48
He said:
1:49
Then he ordered a man from the people,
1:52
who brought a bucket of water,
1:54
and poured it over the spot.
1:56
Despite the severity of the situation and the anger of the Companions,
2:00
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, treated him with gentleness,
2:05
showed mercy toward his ignorance and his unfamiliarity,
2:08
and taught him in the best possible manner.
2:11
For rebuking him immediately
2:13
would have spread the filth
2:15
and alienated the man.
2:17
He said to the Companions,
2:19
'You were sent to make things easy,
2:22
and you were not sent to make things difficult.'
2:25
The man could not help himself after this gentle treatment
2:29
but to express his inner state
2:32
and his unique perspective,
2:34
saying, 'O Allah, have mercy on me and on Muhammad,
2:37
and do not have mercy on anyone else with us.'
2:40
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
2:45
'You have narrowed something vast,'
2:48
meaning you have constricted that which is wide.
2:51
In this is a clear demonstration of kind, merciful interaction
2:55
and beautiful forbearance.
2:57
And Allah is the Grantor of success.
