To what extent is the hadith sound: "Whoever wakes and sleeps in a state of his parents being pleased with him, wakes and sleeps with two doors to Paradise open for him, and if one, then one. And whoever wakes and sleeps in a state of his parents being displeased with him, wakes and sleeps with two doors to Hell open for him, and if one, then one"? And what is its narration?
