Hadith on Vanity: Earth swallows a man impressed by himself

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “While a man was walking in a fine garment, with his hair groomed and impressed with himself, Allah caused the earth to swallow him up. He will be buried until the Day of Resurrection.
