حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ:
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ ذُكِرَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ لِلْقَضَاءِ، فَهَرَبَ حَتَّى أَتَى الشَّامَ، فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ عَزْلَ صَاحِبِهَا، فَهَرَبَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْيَمَامَةَ، فَلَقِيتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: مَا وَجَدْتُ مَثَلَ الْقَاضِي إِلَّا كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ سَابِحٍ فِي بَحْرٍ، وَكَمْ [١]عَسَى أَنْ يَسْبَحَ حَتَّى يَغْرَقَ

Machine translation, not reviewed
When 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Udhaynah died, Abu Qilabah was mentioned for judgeship, so he fled until he reached Syria. It coincided with the removal of its governor, so he fled until he reached al-Yamamah. I met him after that and he said: I have not found the likeness of a judge except that of a man swimming in a sea. How long can he swim before he drowns?
