How strong is the Hadith about not repeating prayers?

The Hadith about not repeating prayers has a Sahih chain according to Imam al-Nawawi and others.

عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ مَوْلَى مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ جَالِسًا عَلَى الْبَلَاطِ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا لَكَ لَا تُصَلِّي؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ. إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: لَا تُعَادُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ

(Sayidina) Ibn Umar (May Allah Most High be pleased with them both) said, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, ‘A prayer is not repeated in the same day, twice.’ (Sunan al-Nasai 860, Sahih).

عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ يَعْنِي مَوْلَى مَيْمُونَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَلَى الْبَلَاطِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ، فَقُلْتُ: أَلَا تُصَلِّي مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ: قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَا تُصَلُّوا صَلَاةً فِي يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ

(Sayidina) Ibn Umar (May Allah Most High be pleased with them both) said, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, ‘Do not pray a prayer twice in the same day.’ (Sunan Abi Dawood 579, Sahih).

These two Hadith narrations are very similar in wording, which is why many Hadith scholars commented on their authenticity together.

 لَا تصلوا صَلَاة فِي يَوْم مرَّتَيْنِ ; رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد، وَالنَّسَائِيّ بِإِسْنَاد صَحِيح. (خلاصة الأحكام في مهمات السنن وقواعد الإسلام)

‘Do not pray a prayer twice in the same day.’ This is narrated by Abu Dawood and al-Nasai with a Sahih chain. (Imam al-Nawawi, Khulasatu al-Ahkaam).

 لا تصلوا صلاة في يوم مرتين عند أحمد وأبي داود والنسائي وابن حبان وصححه ابن السكن. (نيل الأوطار)

‘Do not pray a prayer twice in the same day.’ (Narrated by) Ahmad, Abi Dawood, al-Nasai and Ibn Hibban and it was authenticated by (Imam) Ibn al-Sakan). (Imam al-Showkani, Nayl al-Owtaar).

And Allah Most High Knows Best.
