EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of discretion and respect for privacy that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ practiced. He was known for his exemplary character and this hadith is an example of how he conducted himself even in private matters such as relieving himself. He would go to a far-off place, away from people, so that no one could see him or be disturbed by him. This teaches us the importance of respecting our own privacy as well as others'. We should not intrude on someone else's privacy or make them feel uncomfortable by being too close when they are doing something private like using the restroom. We should also be mindful of our own actions and conduct ourselves with dignity and respect at all times, even when we are alone.
