How are the hadiths that prefer dhikr over other deeds to be understood, given your fatwa that prayer is better than dhikr in all cases?

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "And know that the best of your deeds is prayer." This is because it encompasses remembrance (dhikr) and other acts of worship, making it the deed with the greatest reward. Prayer prohibits indecency and evil, and "the remembrance of Allah is greater," meaning that the remembrance of Allah within prayer is greater than its prohibition of indecency and evil. Prayer includes sincerity, awe (khashyah), and the remembrance of Allah. Sincerity commands good, awe prohibits evil, and the remembrance of Allah commands and prohibits. The one who prays is mindful of Allah the Almighty and receives immense reward.
