What is the validity of the statement that a missed prayer must be made up in its original time?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people say: If one misses the midday prayer and remembers it at night, he does not make it up until its appointed time?

Answer:
No, that is wrong. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it.مَن نام عن الصلاة أو نسيها فليُصلها إذا ذكرها
. There is nothing after the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Q: He cited as evidence his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Indeed, Allah has a work by day which He does not acceptإنَّ لله عملًا بالنهار لا يقبله
..?
A: No, this is a false statement. This is likening. The words of the Prophet (peace be upon him) are explicit:
Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers itمَن نام عن صلاة أو نسيها فليُصلها إذا ذكرها
.
