وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ، ثنا أَبُو عَمْرٍو النَّمَرِيُّ، ثنا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: " وَجَدْتُ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ بِالْقَضَاءِ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ فِرَارًا، وَأَشَدَّهُمْ مِنْهُ فَرَقًا "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " وَمَا أَدْرَكْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِالْقَضَاءِ مِنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ لَا أَدْرِي مَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ فَكَانَ يُرَادُ عَلَى الْقَضَاءِ، فَيَفِرُّ إِلَى الشَّامِ مَرَّةً، وَيَفِرُّ إِلَى الْيَمَامَةِ مَرَّةً، وَكَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ كَانَ كَالْمُسْتَخْفِي حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ ".
Ayyub (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The one who flees most from the office of judge is the one who knows it better than other people, and no one knows it better than Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him). It was intended to make Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) a judge, so he fled once to Syria and another time to Yamamah, and when he came to Basrah he would live in hiding until he left it.
