Abd Allaah (bin Umar) said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us along with a detachment. The share of each was twelve Camels. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave each one of us a Camel as a reward. Abu Dawud said “Burd bin Sinan narrated a similar tradition from Nafi as narrated by Ubaid Allaah. Ayyub also narrated from Nafi a similar tradition, but his version goes “We were rewarded one Camel each. He did not mention the Prophet ﷺ.
