Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24486 — Judging and the reports about it
٢٤٤٨٦ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن علية عن أيوب قال: لما توفي عبد الرحمن ابن أذينة ذكر أبو قلابة للقضاء فهرب حتى أتى الشام، فوافق ذلك (عزل) (١) (صاحبها) (٢) فهرب حتى (٣) أتى اليمامة فلقيته بعد ذلك (فقال) (٤): ما وجدت مَثَل القاضي إلا كمثل رجل سابح في بحر، وكم عسى أن يسبح حتى يغرق.
It is narrated from Ayyub: When Abd al-Rahman bin Udhaynah died, Abu Qilabah was mentioned for the office of judge, and he fled and came to Syria. By coincidence, the governor of Syria was dismissed at that same time, so he fled from there and came to al-Yamamah. Then I met him after that and he said: "I have found the judge to be like a person swimming in the sea, and it is very rare that a swimmer does not drown."
