حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ

قَالَ لَقَدْ نَفَعَنِي اللَّهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيَّامَ الْجَمَلِ، بَعْدَ مَا كِدْتُ أَنْ أَلْحَقَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْجَمَلِ فَأُقَاتِلَ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ لَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَّ أَهْلَ فَارِسَ قَدْ مَلَّكُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بِنْتَ كِسْرَى قَالَ: «لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً»

During the days (of the battle) of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a word I had heard from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) after I had been about to join the Companions of Al-Jamal (i.e. the camel) and fight along with them. When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was informed that the Persians had crowned the daughter of Khosrau as their ruler, he said, “Such people as ruled by a lady will never be successful.”

আবূ বাকরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে শ্রুত একটি বাণীর দ্বারা আল্লাহ জঙ্গে জামালের (উষ্ট্রের যুদ্ধ) দিন আমার মহা উপকার করেছেন, যে সময় আমি সাহাবায়ে কিরামের সঙ্গে মিলিত হয়ে জামাল যুদ্ধে শারীক হতে প্রায় প্রস্তুত হয়েছিলাম।

আবূ বাকরাহ (রাঃ) বলেন, সে বাণীটি হল, যখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে এ খবর পৌঁছল যে, পারস্যবাসী কিসরা কন্যাকে তাদের বাদশাহ মনোনীত করেছেন, তখন তিনি বললেন, সে জাতি কক্ষনো সফল হবে না স্ত্রীলোক যাদের প্রশাসক হয়। [৭০৯৯]

ہم سے عثمان بن ہیثم نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے عوف اعرابی نے بیان کیا، ان سے امام حسن بصری نے، ان سے ابوبکرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ جنگ جمل کے موقع پر وہ جملہ میرے کام آ گیا جو میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا تھا۔ میں ارادہ کر چکا تھا کہ اصحاب جمل، عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا اور آپ کے لشکر کے ساتھ شریک ہو کر ( علی رضی اللہ عنہ کی ) فوج سے لڑوں۔

انہوں نے بیان کیا کہ جب نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو معلوم ہوا کہ اہل فارس نے کسریٰ کی لڑکی کو وارث تخت و تاج بنایا ہے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ وہ قوم کبھی فلاح نہیں پا سکتی جس نے اپنا حکمران کسی عورت کو بنایا ہو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Haitsam] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Auf] dari [Al Hasan] dari [Abu Bakrah] dia berkata; Sungguh Allah telah memberikan manfaat kepadaku dengan suatu kalimat yang pernah aku dengar dari Rasulullah, -yaitu pada waktu perang Jamal tatkala aku hampir bergabung dengan para penunggang unta lalu aku ingin berperang bersama mereka.- Dia berkata; 'Tatkala sampai kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, bahwa penduduk Persia telah di pimpin oleh seorang anak perempuan putri raja Kisra, beliau bersabda: "Suatu kaum tidak akan beruntung, jika dipimpin oleh seorang wanita

Ebu Bekre dedi ki: "Cemel vakası günlerinde Cemel savaşına katılmış bulunanlara yetişip, onlarla birlikte savaşmaya tam gidecekken, Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'den işitmiş olduğum bir söz ile Allah beni faydalandırmıştır. Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e Farslılar'ın başlarına Kisra'nın kızını hükümdar yaptıkları haberi ulaşınca şöyle buyurmuştu: İşlerini yönetmek üzere başlanna bir kadın getiren bir toplum asla iflah olmaz.

Sahih al-Bukhari 4425, Book 64, Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi), Hadith 447. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) clarified that a people will never succeed in achieving what they seek if they appoint a woman to be in charge of their affairs—such as in matters of judiciary, public authority, or ministry.

What it teaches

  • Women should not be appointed to positions of leadership or judicial authority over people, or to similar public offices. However, in private matters—such as overseeing a Waqf (endowment), managing the affairs of orphans, or administering a school—there is no harm in that.
  • Highlighting the limited capacity and natural weakness of women, and that they are not to share with men in public positions of authority, as appointing them to such roles is a cause of lack of success.
  • Allah created woman with a nature different from that of man. Some matters are not suitable for a woman to undertake due to her particular nature, just as there are matters that are not suitable for a man to undertake due to his own distinct nature.
  • The "negated success" here refers to success in the sense used in Shariah—attaining the good of both this world and the Hereafter. The prosperity of a nation's worldly affairs does not necessarily mean that it enjoys Allah's approval, for whoever is not obedient to Allah is not truly successful, even if outwardly he appears to be in the best of worldly conditions.
  • This Hadīth does not belittle women; rather, it provides proper guidance that directs their abilities in a manner suitable to their nature and strengths.
