Answer:

There is a sunnah for Asr prayer - but only before; not after. The same holds true for Fajr prayer. There is not supposed to be any voluntary prayer, even, between the end of Fajr prayer and sunrise, and between the end of Asr prayer and sunset.

The reason is simply that the Prophet did not want people to pray too close to sunrise and sunset - because human nature is inclined to worship the sun - if prayers are done then. That is what people used to do for centuries; so Muhammad avoided it.

What is the significance of the sunnah?

Sunnah is the sayings/doings (behaviors/actions) of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). They have been memorized, and written down from those who were alive and close to him (his companions) during his lifetime and are used to this day along with the Quran as guidelines on how Muslims should act/speak. So basically Muslims use the Prophets sunnah for example if there is a conflict on how one should pray correctly according to Islam or how one should treat his neighbors, etc. One can then research the Prophet's actions and ways of carrying out such actions as praying and treating his neighbors and act accordingly. It is another source to look at in addition to following what is in the Quran.
