No sin for missing 4 rakat before Zuhr? Hadith reference?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Someone tells me that there is no gunah if we avoid sunnat salah like 4 rakat of salah before Zuhr. Is it true? Please attach some reference from hadith so that I can show him.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 839/723/SD=09/1440)

Sunnah muwakkidah which the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has regularly offered such as four rakah before Zuhr salah, a person who misses them without any excuse and makes it a habit is sinner and fasiq. Yes, if one cannot offer it sometime due to some excuse then there is no sin.

كانت السنة المؤكدة قريبة من الواجب في لحوق الإثم كما في البحر، ويستوجب تاركها التضليل واللوم كما في التحرير: أي على سبيل الإصرار بلا عذر كما في شرحه … عن عائشة – رضي الله عنها – “كان النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – يصلي قبل الظهر أربعا …. رواه مسلم وأبوداؤد وابن حنبل . (رد المحتار)
