Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 7
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْقَيْسِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ وَالِدَانِ مُسْلِمَانِ يُصْبِحُ إِلَيْهِمَا مُحْتَسِبًا، إِلاَّ فَتْحَ لَهُ اللَّهُ بَابَيْنِ يَعْنِي: مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا فَوَاحِدٌ، وَإِنْ أَغْضَبَ أَحَدَهُمَا لَمْ يَرْضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَرْضَى عَنْهُ، قِيلَ: وَإِنْ ظَلَمَاهُ؟ قَالَ: وَإِنْ ظَلَمَاهُ.

Hajjaj narrated to us. He said: Hammad—I mean Ibn Salamah—narrated to us, from Sulayman al-Taymi, from Sa'id al-Qaysi, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: No Muslim who has two Muslim parents and goes to them in the morning seeking reward will fail to have Allah open two gates for him—that is, gates of the Garden. If he has only one parent, then one gate. If he angers one of them, Allah will not be pleased with him until that parent is pleased with him. It was asked: “Even if they have wronged him?” He said: “Even if they have wronged him.”

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ وَالِدَانِ مُسْلِمَانِ يُصْبِحُ إِلَيْهِمَا مُحْتَسِبًا،
The English witness renders the expression محتسبًا as ‘obeys Allah regarding his parents’; the Arabic wording instead explicitly conveys seeking reward, while the exact nuance of the expression is not further defined here.
Should the witness's interpretive paraphrase be annotated separately from the direct Arabic rendering?
