Does the hadith indicate that the man who was swallowed by the earth was a disbeliever?

The questioner : His statement that he was a disbeliever.

The Shaykh : And his statement that he was a disbeliever also requires consideration. Was he a disbeliever? The hadith does not indicate that he was a disbeliever. It indicates, unless there is another narration other than al-Bukhari's, that the hadith contains nothing except that he was a man who had arrogance and self-admiration, and he had combed his hair, so this punishment befell him.
