The reciter: Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon His Messenger. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr narrated to us, and 'Umar ibn 'Ali narrated to us. And Khalifah narrated to me, and 'Umar ibn 'Ali narrated to us, and Abu Hazim narrated to us from Sahl ibn Sa'd al-Sa'idi, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever guarantees me (the chastity of) what is between his legs (i.e. his private parts), and what is between his jaws (i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him Paradise. من توكل لي ما بين رجليه وما بين لحييه، توكلت له بالجنة
Sahih al-Bukhari 6807
.

The Shaykh : The meaning of "entrusts" is "guarantees," as explained by the other wording. "What is between his two legs" refers to the private parts, and "what is between his two cheeks" refers to the tongue. That is, whoever guards his private parts and his tongue, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guarantees him Paradise. This is because the private parts are a cause for lewd acts, and the tongue is a cause for reprehensible speech, whether in matters of creed or morals. So when a person guarantees what is between his two legs and what is between his two cheeks, he says:
I will entrust him with Paradise. توكلت له بالجنة
, meaning he has guaranteed him Paradise.
