It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came as a bearer of glad tidings to announce that they had been victorious over the enemy. At that time, the blessed head of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the lap of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, performed prostration, and then began to question the bearer of glad tidings. He also mentioned that the leader of those people was a woman. At that moment, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Men will be ruined when they obey women, men will be ruined when they obey women." He said this three times.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the people of Persia came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: My Lord has destroyed your lord. Someone said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): He has appointed his daughter as his successor. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That nation will never prosper whose ruler is a woman.
