Hadith 1

رَوَى أَبُو مَالِكٍ اَلْحَضْرَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ اَلصَّادِقَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "اَلْعَبْدُ كُلَّمَا اِزْدَادَ لِلنِّسَاءِ حُبّاً اِزْدَادَ فِي اَلْإِيمَانِ فَضْلاً".

Abu Malik al-Hadrami narrated from Abu al-Abbas, who said that he heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) say: "The more love a servant has for women, the greater he increases in faith and virtue."

Hadith 2

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "مَا أَظُنُّ رَجُلاً يَزْدَادُ فِي اَلْإِيمَانِ خَيْراً إِلاَّ اِزْدَادَ حُبّاً لِلنِّسَاءِ".

In a narration from Aban, from Umar ibn Yazid, Abu Abdillah (a.s) said: "I do not think that a man increases in faith and goodness except that he also increases in love for women."
