Habit of Prayer
There is a spiritual aspect to building habits. Our metaphysical state changes, and so does our physiological state shift at the interchange of habits....
Don't rush your salat for anything, as you are standing in front of The One who is in charge of whatever you are rushing for!
There were similar practices done before. For example a rock split and water spring originated at that place after itiqaf for 40 days of intense prayers.
It is common in many examples.
We should not perceive it as must, but it is maybe prescribed such that the disciple has zeal and consistecy.
There are also practices (you've probably seen the pit in the batman movie) that they put you in similar cell in chisti tariqah and test you for chilla time. That is intense.
Some even do a lot longer "chillas", are unorthodox etc.
