قال ابن حبان رحمه الله :

ومن لم يكن له همة إلا بطنه وفرجه
.
عُد من البهائم
.
والهمة تبلغ الرتبة العالية
.
لأن الناس بهمتهم
.

Rowdhatul-‘Uqalaa wa Nuzhatul-Fudhalaa p253

Ibn Hibbaan said:

Whoever does not possess a determination for [anything] other than [fulfilling the desires of] his stomach and his private parts, then he is considered from amongst the beasts. [With] determination [one] attains a lofty rank, and [know, that] the people are [ranked] according to their [level of] determination.
