‘Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her)’s servant Abdullah bin Rafi’ says: I asked Hajjaj bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) about a muhrim (person in the state of ihram) who is stopped (from completing Hajj or ‘Umrah), so he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever’s bone is broken, or becomes ill, or becomes lame, then he is released (from ihram), and upon him is Hajj in the coming year.” 1. ‘Ikrimah says: I narrated this hadith to Ibn ‘Abbas and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them), so they said: Hajjaj has spoken the truth. ‘Abdur Razzaq says: I found this hadith in the book of Hisham Sahib Dastawai, so I took it and went to Ma’mar, and he read this hadith to me, or I read it to him.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
After entering into the state of ihram, if a person performing Hajj or Umrah faces an obstacle on the way, he is called a "muhsar" (one who is prevented).
➋
When such a person becomes certain that it is impossible to continue the journey, he should remove his ihram right there.
If he has a sacrificial animal with him, he should slaughter it at that place.
This is what the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) did during the journey of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
➌
A Hajj that remains incomplete due to an excuse does not have the ruling of a complete Hajj; therefore, if one later has the ability to perform Hajj, it will be obligatory to do so.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This hadith is evidence that "ihsar" (prevention from completing pilgrimage) is valid not only due to an enemy but also because of illness or similar reasons, as is the position of the majority of scholars. Similarly, if a person, at the time of entering into ihram, stipulates a condition that wherever I am rendered incapable, I will become lawful (i.e., exit ihram), then upon being rendered incapable, he may exit ihram without any expiation. However, in the case of ihsar, it is necessary to slaughter an animal.

Urdu marginal note:
"Next year Hajj will be performed"—that is, if this was the obligatory Hajj (fard Hajj) and he still possesses the ability to reach the House of Allah (Baytullah). Otherwise, Hajj is not obligatory upon him. The same ruling applies to ‘Umrah.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
1: In one narration of Abu Dawud, there is the addition of "min qābil" (from the coming year),
meaning that in the following year, he will make up for this pilgrimage (Hajj).
Khatabi says:
This is for the person for whom this Hajj was obligatory (fard Hajj).
However, if someone performing a voluntary (nafl) Hajj is prevented, then making it up (qada) is not required for him.
This is also the opinion of Malik and Shafi'i.
Whereas Imam Abu Hanifah and his companions say that both Hajj and 'Umrah become obligatory upon him.
This is also the opinion of Imam Nakha'i.
