Narrated AbuMusa al-Ash'ari: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The fingers are equal. I asked: Ten camels for each? He replied: Yes. Abu Dawud said: Muhammad b. Ja'far transmitted it from Shu'bah, from Ghalib, saying: I heard Masruq b. Aws ; and Isma'il transmitted it, saying: Ghalib al-Tammar transmitted it to me through the chain of Abu al-Walid ; and Hanzlah b. Abi Safiyyah transmitted it from Ghalib through the chain of Isma'il
