Is it from the Sunnah to specifically recite Surat al-Jumu'ah on the night of Friday to remind the people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it from the Sunnah to specifically recite Surat al-Jumu'ah on the night of Friday in order to remind the people, or not? And may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
No, it is not from the Sunnah to recite Surat al-Jumu'ah in the Fajr prayer; rather, it is recited in the Jumu'ah prayer. In the Jumu'ah prayer, it is recited with Surat al-Munafiqun, or with "Yusabbih" and "Al-Ghashiyah." As for Fajr, the Sunnah is to recite in it "Alif Lam Mim, Tanzil al-Sajdah," and in the first and second rak'ahs, the Sunnah is to recite
Has there [not] come upon man a period of timeهَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ
[Al-Insan 76:1]
in its entirety. As for those who recite Surat al-Jumu'ah in Fajr, this is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.
