He also said that when a desert Arab got up and passed water in the mosque the people took hold of him, but the Prophet said to them,
“Leave him alone, and pour a bucket* of water over what he has passed, for you have been sent only to make things easy and not to make things difficult.”
*The text has sajl au dhanub, the transmitter not being sure which word was used. Both mean a bucket.
Bukhari transmitted it.
