621. It was narrated from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri, from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Whoever forgets a prayer, let him pray it when he remembers it, for Allâh says: "and perform prayer when you remember (li dhikra).'" I said to Az-Zuhri: "Is that how the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recited it?" He said: "Yes." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
The purpose of the chapter is to demonstrate the following: If a prayer is missed collectively, which means neither Adhan nor the congregation take place, then the prayer shall be performed in congregation, following the Adhan - just as it is performed in usual circumstances. The Fajr Sunnah is a stressed Sunnah. Hence, if it is missed, it should be made up before the sunrise or after the sunrise, whenever one finds time. Particularly if the Fard prayer is also not performed, the Fard and the Sunnah should both be offered.
