5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Jumhur from his father in a marfu’ manner who has said the following
“’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), in certain parts of his speech has said, ‘The ambition of beasts is to fill their stomach, and the ambition of women is to find men.’”
5- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي بَعْضِ كَلامِهِ إِنَّ السِّبَاعَ هَمُّهَا بُطُونُهَا وَإِنَّ النِّسَاءَ هَمُّهُنَّ الرِّجَالُ.
