On Urge to Sin

A seeker wrote that Hazrat I get an urge to indulge in sin. It was answered that this is not a sin. Occurrence of urge to sin is not a sin, to act upon the urge is. A man sleeps. Has a night fall. On the face of it he must take a bath of cleanliness. In the dream there is most probably unlawful touching of women. In spite of that there is no commitment of sin. In such situations if the heart is not at peace then you recite Repentance (astaghfar) or assert Power of Allah Almighty (La Haul). But really there is no sin.
