Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā narrated to us; Khālid ibn al-Ḥārith narrated to us; Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl narrated to us, from al-Ḥasan, from Abū Bakrah, who said: Allah protected me through something I heard from the Messenger of Allah. When Kisrā died, the Prophet asked, “Whom did they appoint as his successor?” They said, “His daughter.” The Prophet said, “A people who entrust their affairs to a woman will never prosper.”
When ‘Ā’ishah arrived—I mean in al-Baṣrah—I recalled the Messenger of Allah’s statement, and Allah protected me through it. Abū ‘Īsā said: This is a ṣaḥīḥ hadith.

The English witness adds “[Ḥasan]” to the grade, but the Arabic source says ṣaḥīḥ without ḥasan.
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ
The English witness adds “[Ḥasan]” in brackets, while the Arabic source gives only ṣaḥīḥ.
Should the bracketed grade be retained only as a witness-side note?
