Sahih al-Bukhari 6844 (Book 86, Hadith 66) #6579
The Revelation of Tayammum

SUMMARY: Allah revealed the verse of Tayammum when there was no water available and Abu Bakr admonished Aisha for detaining the Prophet and people.

Narrated 'Aisha: Abu Bakr came to me while Allah's Messenger was sleeping with his head on my thigh. Abu Bakr said (to me), "You have detained Allah's Messenger and the people, and there is no water in this place". So he admonished me and struck my flanks with his hand, and nothing could stop me from moving except the reclining of Allah's Messenger (on my thigh), and then Allah revealed the Divine Verse of Tayammum.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَاضِعٌ رَأْسَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَقَالَ حَبَسْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَالنَّاسَ، وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ‏.‏ فَعَاتَبَنِي، وَجَعَلَ يَطْعُنُ بِيَدِهِ فِي خَاصِرَتِي، وَلاَ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ التَّحَرُّكِ إِلاَّ مَكَانُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a situation where there was no water available, so Abu Bakr came to Aisha while the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was sleeping with his head on her thigh. Abu Bakr admonished her for detaining the Prophet and people, and then Allah revealed the Divine Verse of Tayammum which allowed them to perform ablution without using water in such situations. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful of our actions as they can have an effect on others, even if it is unintentional like in this case where Aisha detained everyone due to lack of water but she did not mean any harm by it. It also teaches us that Allah will always provide a solution for our problems if we turn to Him in times of need, as He revealed this verse so that they could still perform their religious obligations without having access to water.
