Making up the regular voluntary prayers, and whether this is specific to the Fajr sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: Did the third narration regarding the sunnah specifically concern Fajr only, or Fajr? Yes. Is the ruling on making up the third of the regular voluntary prayers specific to Fajr only, or to Fajr and Zuhr, or is it general for all regular voluntary prayers?

Answer:
No, it is only established for Fajr; it is only established for Fajr. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying after Fajr, so he asked him, and the man informed him that he had missed the Fajr sunnah and was making it up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of him. This is due to the emphasis of the two rak'ahs of Fajr, which are the most emphasized of the regular voluntary prayers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say
The two rak'ahs of Fajr are more beloved to me than the world and what is in it.ركعتا الفجر أحب إلي من الدنيا
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 2:151
and what is in it.
And there is a hadith from Ali, I think he said: Do not
Do not leave the two rak'ahs of Fajr, even if horses were to chase you.تتركوا ركعتي الفجر ولو طاردتكم الخيل
, and that is due to their emphasis. As for the rest of the regular voluntary prayers, it is not reported that anyone made them up and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of it or ordered it. Rather, he (peace and blessings be upon him) made up the Zuhr regular voluntary prayer after 'Asr, and this is specific to him (peace and blessings be upon him). They say this is specific to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
