If a worshiper enters the mosque during the adhan, does he perform the greeting of the mosque or repeat the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a worshiper enters the mosque and the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan for prayer, is it permissible for him to perform the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque while the mu'adhdhin is calling, or should he wait until the mu'adhdhin finishes the adhan? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is better for him to wait and follow the mu'adhdhin. When the adhan is finished, he says: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the intercession and the virtue and a praiseworthy station for which You have promised him," so that he may obtain the reward mentioned in this, which is forgiveness and obtaining the intercession of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for him on the Day of Resurrection. This is a great favor that should not be missed. Then, after that, he performs the greeting of the mosque and the regular voluntary prayer before the obligatory one, if it is the midday prayer, or the regular prayer of the mosque, and prays whatever voluntary prayer is easy for him to perform, or he sits after that to recite the Qur'an, settle down, glorify Allah, and teach. This is the best, in order to combine the two virtues: the virtue of following the mu'adhdhin and making du'a' after the adhan, and the virtue of performing the greeting of the mosque. And if he performs the greeting of the mosque while the mu'adhdhin is calling, that is permissible, but it is contrary to what is best. Yes.
