An incident at the Prophet's mosque in Madinah demonstrates how lenient and kind the Prophet was to ignorant people. Abu Hurairah reports: " A bedouin urinated in the mosque and some people rushed to beat him. The Prophet 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).
Once a man approached the Prophet seeking advice, and the Prophet said, "Do not get angry." The man asked for advice several times and the Prophet replied every time, "Do not get angry" (Al-Bukhari).
The questioner was probably one disposed to a quick temper, and so the Prophet was stressing the need to control his anger. the Prophet also said, "He who is deprived of forbearance and gentleness is, in fact, deprived of all good" (Muslim)
