What do نَفْسَهُ in دَانَ نَفْسَهُ and النَّفْسِ in قَتْلُ النَّفْسِ mean in their respective contexts?

Repentance, reform, integrity, and responsibility (Hadith 23–30)

• Both refer only to one’s desire
• The first means a person’s life; the second means one’s desire
• The first means one’s own self; the second means a person’s life
