2254. It was narrated from Hudhaifah, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ 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."[1] (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb.
٢٢٥٤ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ جُنْدُبٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يُذِلَّ نَفْسَهُ. قَالُوا: وَكَيْفَ يُذِلُّ نَفْسَهُ؟ قَالَ: يَتَعَرَّضُ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ لِمَا لَا يُطِيقُ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. .

Some people try to impress the people of their abstinence and piety by adopting monastic ways and practices and take to doing things that are against human nature: they stop trimming their hair, avoid taking bath, put fetters and chains in their hands and feet, and fast for days on end without letting anything past their throats.
