Salam Alaykum, I came across this hadith: > عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يُذِلَّ نَفْسَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ يُذِلُّ نَفْسَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَتَعَرَّضُ مِنَ الْبَلاَءِ لِمَا لاَ يُطِيقُ ‏" Translation: > It was narrated from Hudhaifah, that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: "It is not for the believer to humiliate himself." They said: "How does he humiliate himself?" He said: "By taking on a trial which he can not bear." (Source ) I can't wrap my head around the type of trial that is being discussed and what about if it can be whithstood but with difficulty. I'm trying to quit watching pornography, and after around a decade of watching it, quitting is very very difficult with a lot of discomfort, mental flashbacks, urges, feeling like almost losing the will power. But this is for my own betterment. Does this count as dhul nafsi that the hadith refers to?
