Making up the Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The imam of a group of people delivered the Friday sermon, but he fell ill during the last part of the sermon. He descended from the pulpit after completing the sermon, but he was unable to stand due to the severity of the illness that had struck him. Then, after the prayer was completed, he recovered from the illness. Does he make up the Friday prayer or the Zuhr prayer, given that he regained consciousness before the time had passed, or does he make up the Zuhr prayer?

Answer:
Whoever does not catch a rak'ah of the Friday prayer with the imam prays it as Zuhr, based on the implication of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever catches up with with a Rak'ah of Jumu'ahمن أدرك ركعة من الجمعة فقد أدرك الصلاة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 557
narrated by Ahmad. This person did not enter the prayer with the imam at all, so he prays it as Zuhr.
