Was the hadith "...for a woman is created from a rib..." only for Eve and not for women in general?

From IslamWeb , I came to know that women were not made out of a man's rib. But the hadith talks about the general case, writing "the Hadeeth does not mean that the woman, in general, is created from her husband’s rib" referring to the hadith: > Treat women nicely, for a women [sic] is created from a rib... -- Sahih al-Bukhari 3331 (sunnah.com ); also Sahih Muslim 1468 a (sunnah.com ) However, Zakir Naik in a YouTube video didn't say that it applied only for Eve (the 1st woman), but his conclusion was rather for general woman. Hence, my question: was the hadith only for Eve and not for women in general?
