I wake up after the Fajr adhan and pray the rawatib at home; is this better, or should I hasten to go to the mosque?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I wake up after the Fajr adhan, so I always pray the two rak'ahs of Fajr at home. I wake up after the Fajr adhan, so I always pray the two rak'ahs of Fajr at home, and then when the iqamah is called, I go to the mosque and pray with the congregation. Is this the sunnah, or should I hasten to go to the mosque and perform the two rak'ahs there before the prayer?
Answer:
The imam, meaning, stays in his house and prays the rawatib, then goes out, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do that. As for the ma'mum, he hastens to the mosque; he hastens to the mosque, and when he arrives at the mosque, he prays two rak'ahs, and they suffice for the rawatib and for the greeting of the mosque. Yes, and he sits and remembers Allah and recites the Qur'an. Yes.
