Question:
Ibn Abi Umar narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from Ata ibn al-Sa'ib, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, from Abu al-Darda who said: A man came to him and said: I have a wife, and my mother orders me to divorce her. Abu al-Darda said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1900Hasan (Darussalam)..?
Answer:
Its chain of narration is good; because Ata ibn al-Sa'ib became confused in his memory, but Sufyan heard from him before the confusion.

The father is the middle gate to Paradise. So if you wish, then neglect that door, or protect it.
