What is recommended for one who arrives before and after the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one arrives before the adhan and the mu'adhdhin calls: Is it better that I recite the Qur'an or that I perform the sunnah?

Answer:
You perform the rawatib; for example, four before the Zuhr, and there is a prayer between every two adhans. So when the adhan is called, it is the sunnah for those present to perform two rak'ahs.
Q: What is the regular sunnah, for example, after the (adhan of) Maghrib?
The Shaykh: He performs two rak'ahs, even if... The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Between the two adhans there is a prayer, between the two adhans there is prayerبين كل أذانين صلاة، بين كل أذانين صلاة
Sunan Abi Dawud 1283Sahih (Al-Albani)
, and he said:
Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghribصلوا قبل المغرب، صلوا قبل المغرب
Bulugh al-Maram 2:264
, then he said:
for whoever wishesلمن شاء
All of this is a sunnah between the two adhans; Maghrib and 'Isha' and 'Asr are likewise. As for Zuhr, the rawatib is before it, and for 'Asr it is recommended to perform four before it, and for Fajr the rawatib is before it between the two adhans.
