EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the length of sutra for worshippers. A sutra is an object placed in front of someone who is praying to provide them with privacy and protection from distractions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked how long this object should be and he replied that it should be equal to the back of a saddle. This teaches us that we must take our worship seriously and ensure that we are not distracted by anything while praying. We must also respect other people's privacy when they are praying by not intruding on their space or distracting them in any way.
