The prayer was called for and I was at home, so should I pray the sunnah, or is that covered by the hadith: “When the prayer is called for…”?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the prayer is called for and I am at home, he says: So should I pray the pre-sunnah for that obligatory prayer? If the prayer is called for and I am at home, am I permitted to pray the regular pre-sunnah for that obligatory prayer? Or is that included in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 1058?
Answer:
Without a doubt, it is included. If the prayer is called for, there is no prayer other than the obligatory one. So entering the prayer after the iqamah is not permissible by consensus. As for if it is called for while he is in it, this is the place where the question is whether he completes it or does not complete it? Yes.
