Is the Iqamah obligatory for performing supererogatory prayers?

The Iqamah is only prescribed for the five obligatory prayers, not for the Eid prayer, nor the prayer for rain (Istisqa'), nor the eclipse prayer (Kusuf), nor for supererogatory prayers (Nawafil), because there is no evidence for that in the Sharia.
