The imam sat for the final tashahhud and I sat for the first tashahhud because I am a masbuq (one who joins the prayer late); should I recite the salawat upon the Prophet?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the imam sits for the final tashahhud and I sit for the first tashahhud because I am a masbuq (one who joins the prayer late), do I recite the salawat upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Yes, recite the salawat upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and follow the imam; there is no harm in that. Yes. Some scholars say that one should repeat the first tashahhud, but there is no evidence for this. Yes.
