Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Bedouin urinated in the mosque and some people rushed to beat him up. The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said: "Leave him alone and pour a bucket of water over it. You have been sent to make things easy and not to make them difficult.' [Al-Bukhari]. Commentary: This Hadith brings into light the fact that leniency is also vitally needed in the sphere of education and discipline. This is particularly true in the case of ignorant and ill-bred people. This is so because if they are treated unkindly, they will become more in docile on account of their wild temperament. A kind handling is indispensable for discipline, even if they make desperate blunders. This Hadith is very beneficial with regard to the way of guidance and practical education. Another point this Hadith discloses is that the flow of water can wipe out dirt and impurity, and make the place free from its effect. Could you imagine if that was to occur nowadays how would people react, however look at the best of examples and how he (saw) reacted and taught his fellow companions.
