868. It was narrated that Ibn Bûhainah said: "The Iqâmah for Subh prayer was said, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saw a man praying while the Mu'adhhdhin was saying the Iqâmah. He said: 'Are you praying Subh with four Rak'ahs?' (Sahîh)
٨٦٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: «أُقِيمَتْ صَلَاةُ الصُّبْحِ، فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي، وَالْمُؤَذِّنُ يُقِيمُ، فَقَالَ: أَتُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ أَرْبَعًا.؟»

This narration is explicit that once the commencement of the prayer is being announced, one may not begin praying the two-unit Sunnah prayer of the Fajr. The preceding narrations also demand the same. The making up of the missed Fajr Sunnah may be done after the obligatory prayer, as is recorded by Abû Dâwûd and At-Tirmidhî concerning a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ who performed the Sunnah prayer after having prayed the dawn prayer, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in a way showed his approval of what he did (i.e., the Messenger ﷺ did not stop him from doing so). (Sunan Abī Dāwūd: 1267; At-Tirmidhī: 422).
