Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the day of Friday: "In it there is an hour which, if a Muslim servant coincides with it," and in the narration of al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him): "a Muslim person is praying at that hour and asks Allah, Allah will surely grant it to him." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand, indicating that it is very short.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went towards al-Tur, and there I met Ka'b al-Ahbar. I sat with him, and he narrated to me about the Torah and I narrated to him about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best day on which the sun rises is the day of Friday. On it Adam (peace be upon him) was created, on it he was sent down from Paradise, on it his repentance was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Hour will be established. Every creature except the jinn and mankind listens attentively on the day of Friday, from dawn until the sun rises, out of fear of the Hour. And in it there is an hour which, if a Muslim servant coincides with it while he is in prayer asking Allah for good, Allah Almighty will grant it to him." Ka'b said: That is one day in every year. I said: No, rather this day comes every Friday. Then Ka'b al-Ahbar recited the Torah and said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth. Then he narrated another hadith. Then he said that Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him about my sitting with Ka'b al-Ahbar and what I had narrated to him about the day of Friday, and I told him that Ka'b al-Ahbar said: This day comes once a year. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ka'b has spoken falsely. I said: Yes; then Ka'b recited the Torah and said: Yes, this day is in every Friday. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ka'b has spoken the truth. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I know which hour it is. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Tell me too, and do not be miserly with it. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is the last hour of the day of Friday. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: How can you say that it is the last hour of the day of Friday, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A Muslim servant coincides with this hour while he is in the state of prayer," and this is a time in which no prayer is offered? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say: "Whoever sits waiting for the prayer is in the state of prayer until he prays"? Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, it is just like that.

Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) heard Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "The best day on which the sun rises is the day of Friday. On it Adam (peace be upon him) was created. On that day he was admitted into Paradise. On that day he was taken out of Paradise. And on that day the Hour will be established."
Hadith Referenceالسنن الكبرى للبيهقي / كتاب الجمعة / 6003
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On it Adam (peace be upon him) was created. On that day he was admitted into Paradise. On that day he was taken out of Paradise, and the Hour will also be established on the day of Friday."
Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Khuzaymah (may Allah have mercy on him) held that the discrepancy concerns his words "On it Adam was created" to the end; as for his words "The best day on which the sun rises is the day of Friday," that is from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), without any doubt.
