An external political report in the context of Year 9 after the Hijrah (9 AH).
And in this year: the king of Persia was killed, and his daughter (Buran) was made ruler over them. Then the Messenger of Allah - ﷺ - said: "Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "A people who make a woman their leader will never succeed." [HadeethEnc.com, api-v1]".
After Khosrow, the king of Persia, tore up the Prophet ﷺ’s letter, turmoil broke out in the Sasanian state. Khosrow was killed by his son Shiruyeh, then Shiruyeh died after a short time. The people of Persia disputed over the kingship until they made Buran, Khosrow’s daughter, their ruler. When the Prophet ﷺ heard the news of her enthronement, he said: «Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "A people who make a woman their leader will never succeed." [HadeethEnc.com, api-v1]», as is established in Sahih al-Bukhari. This event shows the fulfillment of the Prophet ﷺ’s supplication after Khosrow’s kingdom was torn apart, and it reveals the political weakness that afflicted the Persian state in its final years, as power passed among the Sasanian family in severe turmoil until it later came to an end years afterward.
