( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ:
كَانَ قَعْنَبٌ التَّمِيمِيُّ قَدْ دَعَاهُ وَالٍ، فَوَلَّاهُ الْقَضَاءَ، فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى قَبِلَ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ بِعَهْدِهِ، رَمَى بِهِ وَتَوَارَى. قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَ الْوَالِي فِي طَلَبِهِ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَطْلُبُونَهُ، إِذْ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ مُتَوَارِيًا، فَلَمْ يَشْعُرُوا إِلَّا وَقَدْ خُرِجَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِجِنَازَتِهِ

A ruler had summoned Qaʿnab al-Tamīmī and appointed him to the judgeship, but he refused. The ruler kept pressing him until he accepted. When he left him with his letter of appointment, he threw it away and went into hiding. He said: The ruler sent people to look for him. While they were searching for him, the house in which he was hiding collapsed on him, and they did not realize anything until his funeral bier was brought out to them.
