It was narrated from Moosa bin Talhah, from his father, that The Prophet ﷺ said: "Let one of you put something in front of him the height of the back of a saddle, then pray'.
The hadith also teaches us about humility and respect for God's commands; even though we may not understand why we have to do certain things, we should still follow His instructions out of obedience and faithfulness. Additionally, it encourages us to take our worship seriously by ensuring that our physical posture reflects our spiritual attitude towards prayer - one of reverence and submission before God Almighty.
