The Sunnah is not to follow one another in congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: If two people enter the mosque and it becomes clear to them that this is the last rak'ah, and they agree that one of them will pray with the other, but they enter with the congregation, is this action permissible?The Shaykh: That is: two men entered the mosque and the imam was in the last rak'ah, so they agreed that after the taslim they would complete the prayer as a congregation. Is this the question?The questioner: Yes, and one of them will be the imam?The Shaykh: Yes, one of them will be the imam and the second will be the ma'mum.
This is permissible and there is nothing wrong with it. In that case, the ma'mum who was a ma'mum in the first prayer transitions to being an imam,Meaning: to being an imam, and the second ma'mum transitions from an imam to another imam. But this is not from the Sunnah. The Sunnah is for each person to make up his prayer alone.
