Do we say to one who denies the hadith of the fly the same as we say to one who denies a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. You mentioned that if one denies a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), knowing that this hadith is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we declare him a disbeliever... that he becomes a disbeliever?
The Shaykh : If he says, "Yes, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said so and so, but I do not agree."
The questioner : All right, O Shaykh, what about those who deny the hadith of the fly?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Do we declare them disbelievers?
The Shaykh : No, no. They said that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said it. The hadith of the fly:Sahih al-Bukhari 3320 They did not deny it because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said it. I mean, if they said, "The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said it, but we do not accept it," yes, they would be declared disbelievers. But they say, "Between us and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are men who may have imagined it, or made a mistake, or erred."
And regarding the hadith of the fly, praise be to Allah, modern doctors have testified that it corresponds to reality. One of its wings contains a small gland that, if it falls, bursts and affects the drink. The other, by the permission of Allah, contains another gland that bursts and destroys this. Therefore, it was commanded to be dipped. Yes.
