The sunan, what do you mean by sunan?

The Shaykh:
The nawafil for the midday prayer are two rak'ahs before it and two rak'ahs after it. Yes. Or four rak'ahs before it and four rak'ahs after it. Or four rak'ahs before it and two rak'ahs after it. All of these are sunnah.
As for the afternoon prayer, it has no rawatib, neither before nor after it. But if one arrives at the mosque before the iqamah (second call), he does not sit until he prays two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque.
His saying .
As for the sunset prayer, its rawatib is after it, but it is recommended to pray before it. Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said So the rawatib of the sunset prayer is after it, and whatever is prayed before it as nawafil is purely voluntary. Yes.
