of Allah (peace be upon him) a Bedouin came and stood urinating in the Mosque. The Companions of the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ‘Stop it! Stop it!’ and were about to attack him. But the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ‘Do not interrupt him; leave him alone.’ So they left him
until he had finished urinating, then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) called him and said to
him, ‘In these Mosques it is not right to do anything like urinating or defecating; they are only for
remembering Allah, praying and reading Qur’an,’ or words to that effect. Then he commanded a man who
