The state in which the latecomer catches up with the congregational prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother also asks and says: If a worshipper does not catch up with the imam in the congregational prayer except for the final tashahhud, is the congregational prayer counted for him?

Answer:
The congregation is not caught up except by one rak'ah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever catches a raka of the prayer has caught the prayer.من أدرك ركعة من الصلاة فقد أدرك الصلاة
Muwatta Malik 1:15
However, if one is excused, such as being held back by illness or a valid legal excuse, he receives the reward of the congregation, even if he did not attend it.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
