عن ابي بكرة رضي الله عنه انه شهد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم اتاه بشير يبشره بظفر جند له على عدوهم وراسه في حجر عائشة رضي الله عنها فقام فخر ساجدا ثم انشا يسائل البشير فاخبره فيما اخبره انه ولي امرهم امراة فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ”الآن هلكت الرجال إذا اطاعت النساء هلكت الرجال إذا اطاعت النساء“ ثلاثا
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 messenger bearing glad tidings came and gave the Muslims the news of victory 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) got up and prostrated in gratitude. After that, he began to inquire about the situation from the messenger. Among the news that the messenger gave was that a woman had become ruler over the enemies. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When men begin to obey women, they will be destroyed. When men begin to obey women, they will be destroyed." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times.
