Messenger of Allah ﷺ never missed two rakʿat before the Fajr prayer and after the ʿAsr prayer openly and secretly.  

البخاري:٥٩٢ – حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

رَكْعَتَانِ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَعُهُمَا سِرًّا وَلاَ عَلاَنِيَةً رَكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ وَرَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ
