It's a rule in Islam. Period. We don't discuss the benefits unless it is mentioned in the text that so and so is a benefit. Otherwise we hear and obey!

Quran 2:216"But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and ye know not."
