(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ أَيْضًا قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي بِنْتُ عَمِّي وَأَنَا أُحِبُّهَا وَإِنَّ وَالِدَتِي تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُطَلِّقَهَا فَقَالَ لَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُطَلِّقَهَا وَلَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِيَ وَالِدَتَكَ وَلَكِنْ أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْوَالِدَةَ أَوْسَطُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَمْسِكْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَدَعْ
(Second chain) Abu Abdur Rahman Salmi says: A man came to Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: My wife is my paternal cousin and I also love her, but my mother orders me to divorce her. He (Abu Darda’) said: I neither order you to divorce her nor do I say that you should disobey your parents. However, I will narrate to you the hadith which I myself heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the mother is the middle gate of the gates of Paradise, so you may either guard this gate or leave it if you wish.
