Sunan an-Nasai 5388 (Book 49, Hadith 10) #19920
Leadership and Prosperity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) warned against entrusting leadership to a woman, as it will lead to the downfall of a people.

It was narrated that Abu Bakrah said: "Allah protected me with something that I heard from the Messenger of Allah SAW. 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'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ عَصَمَنِي اللَّهُ بِشَىْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفُوا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا بِنْتَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً
