( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنْبَأَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ قَالَ:
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْقَاضِي كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ يَسْبَحُ فِي الْبَحْرِ، فَكَمْ عَسَى يَسْبَحُ حَتَّى يَغْرَقَ. قَالَ: وَطُلِبَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ لِلْقَضَاءِ فَهَرَبَ
