I got this question from a friend, I've seen an explanation somewhere before but could not locate it...can someone help out?

Assalam alikum,
i came across this quote and it didnt had any explanations....

Ali (PBH) said "Allah created desire in ten parts,He gave nine parts to
women and one part to men."

i always thought it was the other way around.if anyone has detailed
info about this quote can u plz post it or if anyone know any books which
might explain this quote plz put up the name of the book.thanx.

jazakallah khair

as salaamu alaykum,

Ohh.. that's why that book is called "Nine Parts of Desire"!

If I find anything on this I'll let you know inshaAllah.

Allahu a'lam, but the narration seems to be weak. ˙Check this out also:

From http://www.muis.gov.sg/fdd/garden/sex1.html :
[color=black]

Saidina Ali r.a., the Prophet's close companion and son-in-law, had symbolically described the fundamental difference of male and female sexuality. He said that Almighty Allah created sexual desires in ten parts; then He gave nine parts to women and one to men. (But then Allah) also gave them equal parts of shyness. In other words, nine parts of shyness to women and one part to men.

This implies, quite ironically, that a woman actually has a greater capacity for sexual desire but is more inhibited by shyness. On the other hand, a man is more forthcoming in his sexual advances, but this belies his lower capacity in comparison to a woman.
