Question:
The questioner says: As for a person who joins the congregation in the final tashahhud, is the reward of the congregation recorded for him?
Answer:
The reward of the congregation is not recorded for him, but the reward of following the imam is recorded for him. However, if he knows that people are coming behind him, he waits for them to arrive and prays with them in congregation. Otherwise, he joins the imam in whatever remains of the prayer, even if it is less than a rak'ah, in order to obtain the reward. Yes.
