Since this day was the day of the fortunes of souls, God legislated to double the takbir in prayer so that He might gain in the hearts of His servants the pride and greatness that truth befits, so that the fortunes of souls would not distract them from observing His right, the Most High, by what they are required to perform the obligatory prayers during the day, meaning the noon and afternoon prayers and the rest of the prayers. He said God Almighty, and the remembrance of God is greater, meaning in judgment .
