Stand firm against evil thoughts
Stand firm against evil thoughts, for if you fail to do so, they will become ideas, if you do not, they will become desires, so fight against them. If you do not, they will become a form of determination and intention, if you do not resist, they will become actions, and if you do not follow them up with their opposite, they will become habits that will be hard to quit.

For indeed the dispraising of the best of generations, those of whom accompanied the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is a dispraise of the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam).
[Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, vol. 4, page 429]

Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad (rahimahullaah) said:
If Iblees conquers the son of Adam with one of the three [things] he says, ‘I will not seek anything else from him’. (1) being fond of himself, (2) deeming his deeds to be plentiful, and (3) forgetfulness of his sins.
