Does a worshipper receive the reward for the Sunnah prayer of Fajr if he prays the regular Sunnah prayers whose virtue he knows, but neglects the rest of the regular Sunnah prayers?

A Muslim should be keen on performing supererogatory prayers, especially the regular prayers, as they are among the reasons for Allah Almighty's love for His servant. In the Qudsi : "My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory deeds until I love him." The two rak'ahs of the Fajr Sunnah prayer are better than the world and everything in it, and its reward is not diminished by leaving the remaining Sunan. It is recommended to be keen on increasing supererogatory prayers, especially the confirmed Sunnahs.
