أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا 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 ".
Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A governor summoned Qa'nab al-Tamimi (may Allah have mercy on him) and wanted to give him the office of judge, but he refused. After repeated insistence the office was given to him. When he left him, he abandoned the office and went into hiding, so the governor sent men to search for him. While they were searching, the roof of the house in which he was hiding collapsed, and they did not even know of it. They only learned of it when his funeral bier was brought out.
