If one wakes up before the sun rises, does he begin with the Sunnah of Fajr or with the obligatory prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, does the one who is not negligent in prayer have to pray before the sun rises regarding Fajr, meaning, meaning, if the sun is about to rise?

The Shaykh : First, what do you mean by negligent?

The questioner : Not negligent.

The Shaykh : Not negligent.

The questioner : Yes, that is right.

The Shaykh : Meaning, not distracted.

The questioner : Not distracted.

The Shaykh : Repeat the question.

The questioner : Does the one who is not negligent have to pray before the sun rises, performing the Sunnah of Fajr, even if the sun is about to rise?

The Shaykh : And it is so. First, this is taken from the well-known hadith
Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it except that. من نسيا صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها حين يذكرها لا كفارة لها إلا ذلك
So the word "when" is a new timing for this excused person whom you described as not negligent. Second, one takes comfort in this occasion with a story that is the exact opposite of this, but it meets this in the operative cause, and it is the one narrated by Imam al-Bayhaqi in his Sunan that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) lengthened the recitation in the Fajr prayer one day until, when he finished the prayer, they said to him, "You have lengthened it until we feared the sun would rise." He said (may Allah be pleased with him), and here is the point, "If it rises, it will not find us heedless, meaning we are in worship and in prayer, so what harm is there if the sun rises on us?" And here too, the matter is the same.
