Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
So when it comes to the tashahhud, what does one say in the Fajr prayer when the believer says "Prayer is the dawn of the day, and a source of forgiveness and anger"?

Answer:
It is reported from some scholars that he says "You have spoken the truth and you have done well" when the mu'adhdhin says "Prayer is better than sleep." The correct view is that he follows the mu'adhdhin and says what the mu'adhdhin says, namely "Prayer is better than sleep." This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
repeat what the Mu'adhdhin pronouncesقولوا مثل ما يقول
Sahih Muslim 383
and the fact that only the "Hayya 'ala al-khayr" (Come to what is best) did not make me silent. This indicates that "Prayer is better than sleep" is included in the following, and that he says what the mu'adhdhin says. This is the correct view. Yes.
