and Abū al-Muʿallá is unknown to me. Al-Dūlabī mentioned in "al-Kuná" (2/124) through the narration of Ḥajjāj ibn Naṣīr who said: Abū al-Muʿallá Zayd ibn Abī Laylá al-Saʿdī narrated to us from al-Ḥasan from Maʿqil ibn Yasār... and he mentioned another story. It is possible that he is the same person, but I did not find a biography for him either. Ibn Shāhīn narrated through the chain of al-Qāsim from Abū Umāmah from ʿĀbis, a Companion of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), and he mentioned the six characteristics. The ḥadīth was indicated as authentic by al-Ḥāfiẓ in the biography of al-Ḥakam in "al-Iṣābah" (1/346), and it is deserving of that due to the chains we mentioned.

"Do not single out the night of Friday for standing in prayer among the nights, nor single out the day of Friday for fasting among the days, unless it coincides with a fast one of you regularly observes." It was recorded by Muslim (3/154) through the narration of Ibn Sīrīn from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Al-Mundhirī attributed it in "al-Targhīb" (2/87) to al-Nasāʾī as well, but I did not find it in his "al-Sunan al-Ṣughrá," so perhaps it is in his "al-Kubrā." The second part of the ḥadīth has also been narrated through other chains from Abū Hurayrah with a similar wording, and it will be mentioned next, if Allāh wills. The reason for the ḥadīth is what Ibn Saʿd narrated (4/85) with a sound chain from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn who said: "Salman entered upon Abū al-Dardāʾ on a Friday, and it was said to him: He is sleeping. He said: What is wrong with him? They said: When it is the night of Friday, he revives it [in prayer] and fasts on Friday. He then ordered them to prepare food on a Friday, and he came to them and said: Eat. He said: I am fasting. He did not stop until he ate. Then they both went to the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and mentioned that to him, and the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ʿUwaymir! Salman is more knowledgeable than you, and he strikes..
