Using lift without permission to catch up prayer

Assalaamu alaykum. I joined the prayer as the imam was saying Tasleem (closing the prayer) at the end of the Maghrib prayer. Because of rain, they combined the Maghrib and the `Ishaa'together. Should I perform the Maghrib before joining the congregation for the `Ishaa'prayer in such case?
