What is the ruling on the prayer of someone who caught the last tashahhud of the first congregational prayer, then joined the second congregational prayer immediately without saying the taslim?

Your prayer is valid, and the indicates its permissibility when there is an excuse. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, did this when he was stabbed, and the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, approved of it. This transition from one Imam to another due to an excuse is permissible, and it is easier than the transition of an individual to a congregation, which many scholars have deemed permissible.
