Maintain ḥāfiẓū the prayers and the middle prayer and stand sub- missive to God. Maintaining muḥāfaẓa the prayers means coming to them with awe and leaving with reverence and seeking a state of perpetual witnessing in the proper manner. The middle prayer is mentioned without being clearly defined so that you will observe each of them thinking it is the one [men- tioned] and will not neglect any [of them].
