How does one who missed a rak'ah in a four-rak'ah prayer make it up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you... He makes up the beginning of his prayer, which is the addition that occurs in the prayer...

The Shaykh : What is the addition? What is it?

The questioner : ...the tashahhud... with the imam twice, and the third...

The Shaykh : How? There is no addition here. The tashahhud in the first rak'ah with the imam is following the imam; it is not an addition.

The questioner : And the second is for him

The Shaykh : And the second is his original one

The questioner : Very well.

The Shaykh : The first tashahhud

The questioner : The first tashahhud

The Shaykh : Ah?

The questioner : ...the first one

The Shaykh : I mean, what did he miss?

The questioner :: The tashahhud with the imam, the first tashahhud

The Shaykh : How much did he miss?

The questioner : One rak'ah

The Shaykh : One rak'ah, okay, good

The questioner : And he sat with the imam

The Shaykh : He sat with the imam in the final tashahhud, while for him it is the first tashahhud

The questioner : Yes

The Shaykh : Okay, what is the problem?

The questioner : The first tashahhud with the imam is considered the first one, and the final sitting is considered the final tashahhud

The Shaykh : The final tashahhud for the imam, while for him it is the first tashahhud

The questioner : For him it is the final tashahhud, if we say... the beginning of his prayer

The Shaykh : how

The questioner : ...May Allah reward you, that he makes up the beginning of his prayer

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : And it is the final tashahhud with the imam, which is also his final one... is that not so, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : He must tashahhud twice with the imam. He must tashahhud with the imam twice: the first tashahhud, which for him is in the first rak'ah, and the second tashahhud, which for him is in the second rak'ah

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : So if what he makes up is the beginning of his prayer, then he stands up after the imam's taslim and performs a rak'ah without adding anything to the al-Fatihah, meaning this is it

The questioner : In the first rak'ah, O Shaykh

The Shaykh : how

The questioner : If he is making up the beginning of his prayer

The Shaykh : If what he makes up is the beginning of his prayer, he recites al-Fatihah and a surah

The questioner : Yes

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.

The questioner : ...he sat... the tashahhud

The Shaykh : This sitting is following the imam, there is no problem, yes.
