423. Abū Hurairah narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "Whoever did not pray the two
Rak'ah (before) Fajr then let him pray them after the sun has risen.” (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: We do not know of this Hadīth except from this route. It has been related that Ibn 'Umar did this, and it is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge.
It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq.
He said: And we do not know of anyone who reported this Hadīth from Hammām, with this chain like this, except for 'Amr bin 'Āsim Al-Kilābī.
Rather it is popular as a Hadīth of Qatādah from An-Nadr bin Anas, from Bashīr bin Nahik, from Abū Hurairah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever catches a Rak'ah from the Ṣubh prayer before the sun has risen then he has caught Ṣubh.”[1]

Commentary
It is known from this Hadīth that if a person misses the Sunnah of Fajr prayer, he can perform them after sunrise, but it does not prove that he should not do so before sunrise. The reconciliation between the two Aḥādīth is that he may pray before sunrise if he wants and he may do so after sunrise if he wishes. [Nailul-Awtār: 3/27]
