عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ بَشِيرٌ يُبَشِّرُهُ بِظَفَرِ جُنْدٍ لَهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ وَرَأْسُهُ فِي حِجْرِ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَامَ فَخَرَّ سَاجِدًا، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُسَائِلُ الْبَشِيرَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فِيمَا أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ وَلِيَ أَمْرِهِمُ امْرَأَةٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((الْآنَ هَلَكَتِ الرِّجَالُ إِذَا أَطَاعَتِ النِّسَاءُ، هَلَكَتِ الرِّجَالُ إِذَا أَطَاعَتِ النِّسَاءُ)) ثَلَاثًا
It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a bearer of glad tidings came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He came to give the good news that the Prophet’s army had prevailed over the enemy. At that time, the 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 fell into prostration, then began to question and answer with the bearer of glad tidings. He told various things, among which was that a woman had become the ruler of their governmental affairs. Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now those men have perished who have begun to obey women, those men have perished who have begun to obey women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this statement three times.
