Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 33:922

Affan narrated to us, he said: Hammam narrated to us, from Qatada, who said: Muwarriq al-Ijli said: I have not found an example for the believer in the world except like a man upon a piece of wood in the sea, and he is saying: "O Lord, O Lord," hoping that Allah might save him.
