Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Allah, the Almighty, benefited him on the battle of the Camel with a word that he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). That benefit was such that he did not set forth to participate in the civil strife. He had heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say — when he was told that the Persians crowned the daughter of Khosrow as their queen after her father's death: "A people who appointed a woman to be in charge of their affairs will never succeed.'' It means that those who give women high public positions of presidency, ministry, management, or judiciary achieve no good to the nation. The reason is that Allah, the Almighty, gave men a merit over women in their own nature and made men stronger and more resourceful than women in taking up such positions.

• O Abu Dharr, I see that you are weak and I love for you what I love for myself. Do not rule over two persons and do not manage an orphan's property
• O Abu Dharr, you are weak and it is a trust. It will be a cause of disgrace and remorse on the Day of Resurrection, except for the one who takes it up with a full sense of responsibility and fulfills what is entrusted to him
• O Allah, treat harshly those who have any charge over my Ummah and treat them harshly, and treat gently those who have any charge over my Ummah and treat them gently
