“A man came to Abu Darda' and said: ‘I have a wife and my mother tells me to divorce her.’ Abu Darda' told him that he had heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say: ‘A father is a median door of Paradise. If you wish you may demolish it, or if you wish you may protect it.’"

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abu Darda' who related this.
