Is the saying, "Indeed, Allah does not look at the crooked row," a hadith or a statement?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Often, O honorable Shaykh, we hear the imams of the mosques say when straightening the rows:
Muslim b. Yannaq reported that Ibn Umar saw a person trailing his lower garment, whereupon he said: From whom do you come? He described his relationship (with the tribe he belonged) and it was found that he belonged to the tribe of Laith. Ibn. Umar recognised him and said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with these two ears of mine saying: He who trailed his lower garment with no other intention but pride, Allah would not look toward him on the Day of Resurrection. إن الله لا ينظر إلى الصف الأعوج
Sahih Muslim 2085g
Is this a hadith or a statement?

The Shaykh : There is no doubt that a crooked row is a deficient row, and that the worshippers sin if they do not straighten the rows, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threatened those who do not straighten the rows, saying:
Servants of God, you must straighten your rows, or God will certainly put your faces in contrary directions. عباد الله لتسون صفوفكم أو ليخالفن الله بين وجوهكم
Mishkat al-Masabih 1085
