النسائي:٥٣٨٨أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ

عَصَمَنِي اللَّهُ بِشَىْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى قَالَ مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفُوا قَالُوا بِنْتَهُ قَالَ لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً

"Allah restrained me with something that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When Kisra was destroyed, he said: 'Who did they have to succeed him?' They said: 'His daughter.' So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'A people will never succeed who give their leadership to a woman.'" He said: "So when 'Aishah arrived - meaning in Al-Basrah - I remembered the saying of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so Allah restrained me by it." Abu Eisa said: This Hadith is [Hasan] Sahih.
