A Thought On Urine

According to the founder of Islam, urine is a major cause of torture in the grave.
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Most of the torment of the grave is because of urine.'"
But he called for the consumption of camel urine.
Narrated Anas:
The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they followed the shepherd that is the camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron.
He said that camels were created from devils.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal Al-Muzani said:
"The Prophet said: 'Perform prayer in the sheep's resting-places and do not perform prayer in the camels' resting-places, for they were created from the devils."
He said that nothing contaminates water.
Abu Sa'eed AI-Khudri narrated:
"It was said, 'O Allah's Messenger! Shall we use the water of Buda'ah well to perform ablution while it is a well in which menstruation rags, flesh of dogs and the putrid are dumped?" Allah's Messenger said: 'Indeed water is pure, nothing makes it impure.'"
According to ChatGpt:
Urine is composed of approximately 95% water. The remaining 5% consists of various waste products, including urea, creatinine, uric acid, electrolytes, and other substances. The exact composition can vary based on factors such as hydration levels, diet, and overall health.
Dogs used to come into the mosque and they would urinate.
Ibn 'Umar said:
I used to sleep in the mosque in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when I was young and bachelor. The dogs would urinate frequently visit the mosque, and no one would sprinkle over it.
On one occasion a Bedouin did his business in the mosque.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "A Bedouin came into the mosque and uncovered his private parts to urinate. The people called out to him and began to raise their voices but the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said ,'Let him be. 'So they let him be and he urinated. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered a bucketful of water to be brought and it was poured on the place."
https://sunnah.com/urn/501420 / Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 113
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
"A Bedouin entered the mosque when the Messenger of Allah was sitting there, and (the man) said: 'O Allah, forgive me and Muhammed, and do not forgive anyone else with us.' The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: 'You have placed restrictions on something that is vast.' Then the Bedouin turned away, went to a corner of the mosque, spread his legs and began to urinate. After he had a better understanding, the Bedouin said: 'He got up and came to me, and may my father and mother be ransomed for him, he did not rebuke me nor revile me. He said: "This mosque is not for urinating in. Rather it is built for the remembrance of Allah and prayer.'" Then he called for a large vessel of water and poured it over the place where he had urinated."
If nothing contaminates water, why is a man tortured in the grave on account of it? Urine itself is approximately 95% water. If nothing contaminates water, why pour water over the Bedouin's urine? And why did they not do so over the dogs'?
Is the urine of camels, supposedly created from devils, cleaner than human urine? Is that of dogs' cleaner than human urine? Was the garbage in the Well of Buda'ah cleaner than human urine?
