1769. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Prophet ﷺ used to observe I'tikâf for ten days every year. In the year in which he passed away, he observed I'tikâf for twenty days. And the Qur'an would be reviewed with him once every year, but in the year in which he passed away, it was reviewed with him twice." (Sahih)
1769 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «يَعْتَكِفُ كُلَّ عَامٍ عَشْرَةَ أَيَّامٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا، وَكَانَ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ»

'The Qur'an would be reviewed with him' means it was read to him. Gabriel ﷺ would read the so far revealed amount of the Noble Qur'an with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. (Sahih Bukhârî: 1902). The reason for making I'tikâf for twenty days in the last year of his life was that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ strove hard for worship during the last part of his life.
