It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from among the Persians came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord, Blessed and Exalted, has killed your lord, that is, Kisra. Then it was informed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (Kisra) had appointed his daughter as his successor. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That nation will never prosper which makes a woman its ruler.
