825. It was narrated that Qaza'ah said: "I asked Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri about the prayer of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He said: 'There is nothing good in that for you.'[1] I said: 'Explain it, may Allāh have mercy on you.' He said: 'The Iqāmah would be given for the Zuhr prayer for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then one of us would go out to Al-Baqi', relieve himself, then come back and perform ablution, and he would find the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ still in the first Rak'ah of the Zuhr.'"(Sahih)

Commentary
'There is nothing good in it for you' means that the purpose of knowledge is to act upon it but you people cannot act upon it, since you will not perform such lengthy prayers, then what would you gain by asking questions about it?
If a person does not find it too difficult, the prayer can be lengthened more than usual, otherwise it is allowed to make it shorter.
