The answer

A person attains the reward of congregational prayer if another person prays with them, because the minimum for a congregation is two: an Imam and a follower (ma'mum), and there is no disagreement on this. The fact that the follower is performing a supererogatory (nafl) prayer does not affect the Imam's attainment of the reward for congregational prayer, as the form of a congregation has been achieved. It is hoped that the reward for catching the first takbir will also be obtained in this situation.
