5390. It was narrated that Abû Bakrah said: "Allāh protected me[1] with something that I heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. 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)

Arabic text

5388 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ: عَصَمَنِي اللَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى قَالَ: «مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفُوا؟» قَالُوا: بِنْتَهُ، قَالَ: «لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً»

    [1] Allāh protected me: i.e., from joining the "Army of the Camel" which was led by 'Aishah.

Commentary

'His daughter': In between, his son Khosrou Parvez also remained the emperor, but for only six months. He was, therefore, not taken into consideration.
