Answer:

As for what follows, the hadith Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 14:141 is a reminder of the Hereafter, and this is an authentic hadith.

The hadith mentioned by the questioner is not abrogating it, but rather specifying it, specifying the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to clarify that that is specific to men.
