It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Among the people before you, there was a man who, dressed in his precious robe, was walking arrogantly, boasting about himself. In the meantime, Allah caused him to be swallowed by the earth, and he will continue to sink in it until the Day of Resurrection.
