5- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي بَعْضِ كَلامِهِ إِنَّ السِّبَاعَ هَمُّهَا بُطُونُهَا وَإِنَّ النِّسَاءَ هَمُّهُنَّ الرِّجَالُ.

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 , 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.’”
