What is the wisdom behind changing one's location to perform the Sunnah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the wisdom in the fact that when a worshipper finishes performing the prayer and stands to perform the Sunnah, he changes his location to a place other than the one in which he prayed the obligatory prayer?

Answer:
As far as we know, no authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has been established regarding changing one's location; rather, some weak hadiths have been reported on this matter.
Some scholars have mentioned that the wisdom behind this, according to the view that it is prescribed, is that the places in which one prays testify, and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) knows best, and He is the Wise, the All-Knowing.
