Hadhrat Aadam (alayhis salaam) bequeathed to his son, Hadhrat Sheeth (alayhis salaam) five advices. He stressed that Hadhrat Sheeth (alayhis salaam) should deliver this wasiyyat to his sons as well. The following are the five advices:
(1) Never have confidence in the world and its life. Allah did not approve of my confidence in Jannat, hence I had to leave.
(2) Never fulfil the desires of women. I succumbed to the desire of my wife, ate of the forbidden fruit of Jannat, hence I was put to shame and remorse.
(3) Before doing anything, reflect well on its consequences. If I had done this, I would not have been put to shame in Jannat.
(4) If your heart is agitated by something, do not do it. When I was about to eat of the forbidden fruit, my heart agitated, but I did not heed it.
(5) Before doing anything consult with people of wisdom. If I had consulted the Angels, I would not have suffered shame.

"(2) Never fulfil the desires of women. I succumbed to the desire of my wife, ate of the forbidden fruit of Jannat, hence I was put to shame and remorse."
.. so how to practice this nasheeha in real life.
Wassalam Brother. We need to fullfil the desires of our Mothers, Sisters, Wife,etc. But specially the men should be the decision maker on those desires. I have seen so many things in real life where the things went wrong when a women used to make her own decisions without consulting (making mashoora) anyone.
