"This narration from Ibn Umar has an authentic chain of transmission, and its meaning is that if he heard the iqama for prayer and had not yet prayed the of Fajr, he would pray it on the way (to the mosque) and then enter the mosque and pray with the congregation. It is also authentically reported from him that he would make up the Sunnah of Fajr after sunrise. As for the voluntary prayer (ratibah) after the iqama for prayer has been called, the established practice is that when the obligatory prayer is about to begin, one should not engage in the voluntary prayer or any other (supererogatory) prayer."
