If a person comes late to Friday prayer, and the Imam is giving the sermon, does the person pray the two units of coming into the Masjid (Tahiyaat Al-Masjid) before sitting and listening to the Khutbah?
According to Ahmad bin Al-Hanbal as mentioned in his Masaa'il, he should pray before sitting.*

*It was narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (رضي الله عنه) said: A man came whilst the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) was addressing the people on Friday, and he [the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم )] said: “Have you prayed, O So and so?” He said, “No.” He said: “Stand up and pray two rak’ahs.” [al-Bukhaari (888) and Muslim (875)]
Abu Qatadah (رضي الله عنه) reported: The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said, "When anyone of you enters the mosque, he should perform two Rak'ah (of voluntary prayer) before sitting." [al-Bukhari (444) and Muslim (714)]
