أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ قَالَ عَصَمَنِي اللَّهُ بِشَيْئٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا هَلَکَ کِسْرَی قَالَ مَنْ اسْتَخْلَفُوا قَالُوا بِنْتَهُ قَالَ لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمْ امْرَأَةً
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5403
It was narrated that Abu Bakrah said: “Allah protected me with something that I heard from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم . When Chosroes died, he said: ‘Whom have they appointed as his successor?’ They said: ‘His daughter.’ He said: ‘No people will ever prosper who entrust their leadership to a woman.” (Sahih).
