Is the refusal of the suitor to the girl with whom he previously committed adultery, after his repentance, considered to be among those who fall under the Hadith: "and a man whom a woman of high status and beauty sought, and he said: 'Indeed, I fear Allah'"?

The danger of adultery is immense. If you repent with sincere repentance, then "the one who repents from sin is like the one who has no sin." You must sever all ties with this girl and close all doors leading to her, for the soul is inclined to evil. If you are patient and abstain, it is hoped that you will be among those who restrained their souls. However, do not throw yourself into temptations, claiming that you can be patient. Rather, the correct approach is to stay away from them and ask Allah for salvation and protection.
