How is the prayer of a resident behind a traveler?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the imam intends to shorten the prayer and the follower intends to combine them, and he says the closing salam with the imam.

The Shaykh : Sorry, did the imam intend to shorten the prayer?

The questioner : Yes, they are all travelers.

The Shaykh : And the follower?

The questioner : He did not consider it a journey and intended to complete the prayer.

The Shaykh : Ah.

The questioner : But he said the closing salam with the imam.

The Shaykh : Okay, does he consider himself a resident or a traveler?

The questioner : He considered himself a resident, and the imam considered himself a traveler.

The Shaykh : So he must complete the prayer.

The questioner : Does he have to repeat the prayer?

The Shaykh : He does not repeat it; he completes it. If the imam said the closing salam and he said it with him, that is a mistake, so he must perform two rak'ahs.

The questioner : And he does not repeat the prayer.

The Shaykh : No, he does not repeat the prayer.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : He prayed two valid rak'ahs, but if he considers himself a resident—and this often happens, where a resident follows a traveler—

The questioner: Yes.
