186. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever catches a Rak'ah of Subh before the sun has risen, then he has caught Subh. Whoever catches a Rak'ah of Aṣr before the sun has set, then he has caught Aṣr." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
There is something on this topic from 'Aishah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
This is the opinion of our companions [and] Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad and Ishāq.
According to them, this Hadīth refers to the person who has an excuse, like a man who slept through the Ṣalāt or forgot it, then he awoke or remembered it when the sun was rising or setting.

Commentary
The majority of the Ummah, with the exception of the Ahnāf, hold the opinion that if due to a valid reason or a necessity one begins to pray Fajr or ʿAṣr prayer, and the sun rose or set after one Rakʿah, this prayer should be completed and the duty of prayer will be discharged. Ahnāf reject this in regards to the Fajr prayer but acknowledge the acceptance of ʿAṣr in this situation.
