Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْوَالِدُ أَوْسَطُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَاحْفَظْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ أَوْ دَعْهُ.
English Translation
Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Ata', meaning Ibn al-Sa'ib, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Muqri'. He said: Abu al-Darda' said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'The parent is the middle gate of Paradise, so preserve that gate or lose it.'"
