When acting upon a hasan hadith concerning the virtues of deeds, such as the hadith, "Whoever prays to Allah for forty days, catching the first takbir, will have two immunities written for him: immunity from the Fire and immunity from hypocrisy," is its authenticity believed, or is it acted upon as a precautionary measure, considering that some of its narrators are known for heedlessness or poor memory?

A hasan (definition) (good) hadith (definition) is one of the ahad (single-chain) narrations that conveys dhann (conjecture), whether it concerns rulings, virtues of deeds, or historical accounts. It must be accepted and acted upon according to what it indicates. However, it does not convey certainty (yaqin) or definitive proof (qat‘), but rather preponderant conjecture (dhann rajih (definition)), unless it is accompanied by certain corroborating factors.
