The answer

The congregational performance of missed prayers is legislated due to the agreed-upon of Abu Qatadah, when they overslept and missed the Fajr prayer, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, led his companions in performing it congregationally. Also, Ibn Qudamah said: "It is recommended to perform missed prayers in congregation, for on the Day of the Trench, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, missed four prayers and performed them in congregation." And Ibn Uthaymeen said: "It is also inferred from the hadith of Abu Qatadah that the congregation is legislated for it - meaning for the performed missed prayer - if they are a group, because the performance of a missed prayer imitates the original performance."

Accordingly, it is preferable for the to be called, and the supererogatory prayers to be performed individually, then the for prayer is called, and the prayer is performed in congregation.
