If one combines the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer, is the sunnah of the midday prayer performed after the afternoon prayer?

The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, regarding the sunnah, if one combines the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer, is the sunnah of the midday prayer performed after the afternoon prayer?

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : The evidence.

The Shaykh : It contradicts the combining.

The questioner : It contradicts the combining?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : No problem, if you would be kind enough to clarify how?

The Shaykh : He did not combine the two prayers; he separated them.

The questioner : Even if he prays the sunnah after the afternoon prayer?

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, why did you jump ahead?

The questioner : I did not understand how I jumped ahead?

The Shaykh : Your question is whether he prays the sunnah between the two combined prayers?

The questioner : No, no, I said after the afternoon prayer.

The Shaykh : After the afternoon prayer?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Why would he pray it after the afternoon prayer?

The questioner : My question is if he combines the two prayers.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : And the first prayer has a sunnah, like the midday prayer, so does he pray it after he prays the obligatory part of the afternoon prayer?

The Shaykh : He does not pray it.

The questioner : And the reason?

The Shaykh : Because it was not reported that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the prayers, he prayed after the afternoon prayer.
