1900. Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān As-Sulamī narrated from Abū Ad-Dardā'. He said that a man came and said: "I have a wife whom my mother has ordered me to divorce." So Abū Ad-Dardā' said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'The father is the middle gate to Paradise. So if you wish, then neglect that door, or protect it.'" (Hasan) And sometimes Sufyān said: "The mother" and sometimes he said: "The father." This Hadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ. And Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān As-Sulamī's name is 'Abdullāh bin Ḥabīb.

١٩٠٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ «أَنَّ رَجُلًا» أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ لِيَ امْرَأَةً وَإِنَّ أُمِّي تَأْمُرُنِي بِطَلَاقِهَا، قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: الْوَالِدُ أَوْسَطُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَضِعْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ أَوِ احْفَظْهُ قَالَ: وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: رُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: إِنَّ أُمِّي، وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: أَبِي. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ اسْمُهُ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ.
