حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ عَامًا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً " .
Narrated Ubayy ibn Kab: The Prophet ﷺ used to observe Itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One year he did not observe Itikaf. When the next year came, he observed Itikaf for twenty nights (i. e. days).

Benefit:
If the incident mentioned in this hadith is the same as the one mentioned in the previous hadith, then "the following year" refers to the year after next, skipping one year. This is because the Ramadan in which there was travel was during the conquest of Makkah in 8 AH, and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed i'tikaf for twenty days in the Ramadan of 10 AH. It is possible that he also performed i'tikaf for twenty days in 9 AH.
And Allah knows best.
