When the גמרה attributed those benefits to the connection of גאולה (the last of ברכות שמע) and תפילה (the עמידה), the Maharsha/Tosafot point out its redundancy when taken at face value; after all, <i>everyone</i> conjoins Geula and Tefila. To resolve the apparent redundancy, they assert that the praise/blessing only works by this early time. This expectation was then explicitly codified (רמב"ם הלכות תפילה וברכת כהנים, ג:א).</span> by sunrise. Kabbalistically, this routine is essential to the upholding of the world itself, as it defends (either through testimony<span data-footnote>בתנא דבי אליהו זוטא פרק כב</span> or the light of kindness revealed by Hashem's mercy<span data-footnote>בא"ח ריש פר' פנחס</span>) against the prosecuting angels/forces of evil aiming to destroy the Jewish people. People who maintained the expectation (including our forefather <span style="unicode-bidi: isolate;">אברהם</span><span data-footnote>*וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֥ם* אַבְרָהָ֖ם בַּבֹּ֑קֶר (פרשת וירא, אחר הפכת סדום ועמורה).</span> and kings such as <span style="unicode-bidi: isolate;">דוד</span><span data-footnote>תהילים נח:ט</span> and <span style="unicode-bidi: isolate;">חזקיהו</span><span class="fakeFootnote">5</span>) involke personal merit too, including fear of heaven throughout the day.<span data-footnote><span style="unicode-bidi: plaintext;">ברכות ירושלמי כז.</span><br>The Mishna (אבות א:ג) appends this as a blessing to his advice to serve their master regardless of the reward, which is certainly applicable for prayer by sunrise (קשר גודל - חיד"א, ו:א). Nevertheless, we have spread through the introduction's main & footnote text all the possible rewards, all quoted from the Yalkut Yosef (2021 Edition) O"Ḥ II, pg. 458</span>
