The questioner : In the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: Sahih al-Bukhari 6497
Does this mean that women do not have trust?
The Shaykh : No, no. Expressions often mention men without mentioning women, but the ruling includes both men and women.
The questioner : Is it specific to men?
The Shaykh : No, it does not indicate specificity. For example, what follows says, “When a man sleeps a light sleep, trust is withdrawn.” This may also apply to a woman. When men and women are mentioned together, “men” refers to males and “women” to females. But when “men” is used in a general sense, it is a case of predominance.
