وعن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه أن رجلاً أتاه فقال‏:‏ إن لي امرأة وإن أمي تأمرني بطلاقها‏؟‏ فقال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول ‏

"‏الوالد أوسط أبواب الجنة، فإن شئت، فأضع ذلك الباب، أو أحفظه‏"

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

A man came to me and said, "I have a wife whom my mother commands me to divorce". I replied him that I had heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "A parent is the best of the gates of Jannah; so if you wish, keep to the gate, or lose it."
