Summary
Scholars such as Ibn Hajar, al-Suyuti, Ibn Arraq, al-Fattani and al-Shawkani judged this hadith to be fabricated, so it is not established from the Prophet. It may not be narrated as the Prophet's words except to point out that it is false. Praying Fajr in congregation still carries great reward according to a authentic hadith in Sahih Muslim, namely that it is like praying the whole night.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
