Sahih al-Bukhari, 1809
sahihNarrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was prevented from performing (`Umra) Therefore, he shaved his head and had sexual relations with his wives and slaughtered his Hadi and performed Umra in the following year.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَدْ أُحْصِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَحَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ وَجَامَعَ نِسَاءَهُ، وَنَحَرَ هَدْيَهُ، حَتَّى اعْتَمَرَ عَامًا قَابِلاً.

Obstruction with reference to the Hajj and ‘Umrah refers to being prevented and impeded from approaching the Sacred Mosque in Makkah by an enemy, illness, or something else. If a Muslim intended to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah; and then is detained from completing his Hajj or ‘Umrah; then he is a muhsar, which is a technical term used for someone facing a situation similar to what has been aforementioned and is obstructed from completing their pilgrimage. In this hadeeth, Ibn ‘Abbaas (ra) reports that the Messenger of Allah ﷺhad been prevented from performing the ‘Umrah that he came to offer in the year of Hudaybiyah, which was in the sixth year after Hijrah, when the polytheists inhibited him ﷺfrom entering Makkah that year. So, when The Prophet ﷺ was obstructed, and prevented from completing his ‘Umrah, he ﷺ released himself from it at the place where he was prevented from carrying on at Hudaybiyyah - which is a large village near Makkah, that borders the city. It was named after a well that was there before, and now there is a valley between it and Makkah about twenty-two kilometres on the way to Jeddah - So after leaving his ﷺ ‘Umrah, he slaughtered his Hady - which is a name for the sacrificial animal - whether it be: a camel, cow, sheep, or goat - that is offered and slaughtered in the Sacred Precinct. Thereafter, “he shaved his head,” and this is another one of the last rites of ‘Umrah and it requires one to release themselves from the state of Ihraam. Then, he ﷺ had intimate relations with his wives i.e., that their sexual intercourse was lawful for him, or that he ﷺinitiated the act. The narrator only mentioned this to confirm that he ﷺhad released himself from the state of Ihraam one enters for the pilgrimage. Afterwards, the Prophet ﷺreturned to perform ‘Umrah the next year, which occurred in the seventh year after Hijrah, while it was known as the Make Up ‘Umrah and it has also been called the ‘Umrah of the Judgment. It has been called the Make Up ‘Umrah and The ‘Umrah of the Judgment because he ﷺbecause he ﷺforced Quraysh to accept the terms of the treaty that was signed there, and not because it had been performed as a make-up for the ‘Umrah which was prevented in the previous year..
