قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الشَّهْوَةَ عَشَرَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَجَعَلَ تِسْعَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فِي النِّسَاءِ وَ جُزْءاً وَاحِداً فِي الرِّجَالِ وَ لَوْ لَا مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَجْزَاءِ الشَّهْوَةِ لَكَانَ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ مُتَعَلِّقَاتٍ بِهِ.
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husay Bin Saeed, from Al Husayn Bin Ulwan, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Created the desires to be of ten-parts. So He<sup>azwj</sup> Made nine parts to be in the women and one part to be in the men; and had Allah<sup>azwj</sup> not Made the shyness to be in them upon a measurement of the parts of the desires (9 out of 10), there would have been nine women for every man, attaching themselves with him’.
