Strive for excellence & perfection while performing any task especially when worshipping Allah SWT; Pray in congregation; Strengthen bonds with fellow Muslims through collective worship; Do not be content with mediocrity or laziness when performing any action .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his exemplary character and perfecting even the smallest of tasks. This hadith is an example of this as it speaks about how he would offer short prayers in congregation but still do so perfectly. This teaches us that no matter what task we are doing, we should strive to do it with excellence and perfection. We should not be content with mediocrity or laziness when performing any action, especially when it comes to worshiping Allah SWT.

This hadith also shows us the importance of congregational prayer as the Prophet ﷺ himself prayed in congregation despite having a busy schedule and many responsibilities on his shoulders. It is important for Muslims to come together and pray in congregation as this strengthens their bond with each other and brings them closer to Allah SWT through collective worship.
