حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ , عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ , قَالَ : كَانَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ لَمْ تَزَلْ بِهِ أُمُّهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ حَتَّى تَزَوَّجَ , ثُمَّ أَمَرَتْهُ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهَا , فَرَحَلَ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ بِالشَّامِ , فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أُمِّي لَمْ تَزَلْ بِي حَتَّى تَزَوَّجْتُ , ثُمَّ أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أُفَارِقَ , قَالَ : مَا أَنَا بِالَّذِي آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُفَارِقَ , وَمَا أَنَا بِالَّذِي آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُمْسِكَ , سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " الْوَالِدُ أَوْسَطُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ " , فَأَضِعْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ , أَوْ احْفَظْهُ , قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ وَقَدْ فَارَقَهَا.
Abu Abdur Rahman Salami says that there was a man among us whose mother kept insisting that he should get married. When he got married, his mother ordered him to divorce his wife (but he refused). Then that man went to Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about this issue. He replied, "I neither advise you to divorce her nor to keep her, but I heard the Prophet say that the father is the middle gate of Paradise. Now it is up to you whether you protect it or let it go." That man left and divorced his wife.
