Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If you catch the second rak'ah of the Dhuhr prayer, or if you catch the last rak'ah, then there will be three tashahhuds for me. What do I recite in the tashahhud for the first, second, and third? And in which tashahhud do I limit myself to the tahiyyat only, without the Ibrahimiyyah salutations? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
As for the tashahhud that I am studying with the imam, it is obligatory to follow him only. So, if you catch two rak'ahs with the imam, and he sits for the final tashahhud, then you consider this to be your first tashahhud, and you repeat the recitation of the tahiyyat in it. When the imam says the taslim, you stand up and make up what you missed, then you sit for the final tashahhud. What you performed with the imam counts as your first tashahhud, because you caught two rak'ahs with him. However, if you did not sit with him for more than one rak'ah, then you sit with him afterwards for the sake of following him, and you do not consider this sitting to be anything. So, when you perform the second rak'ah after the imam's taslim, you sit for the first tashahhud, then you stand up and complete the rest of your prayer, then you sit for the final tashahhud, after which you say the taslim.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. In that first tashahhud where you sat with the imam for the sake of following him, what do you say while sitting in the prayer?

You recite the tahiyyah. You recite the tahiyyat and repeat them until the imam says the taslim.

In the first tashahhud, in the first sitting and the second sitting, you recite the first tashahhud.
