Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Rabi'ah bin Abu Abdur Rahman narrates that I asked Hazrat Sa'id bin al-Musayyib, "What is obligatory if a woman's little finger is broken?" He replied, "Ten camels." I asked, "And in both of them, that is, the little finger and the finger next to it?" He replied, "Twenty camels." I asked, "What is obligatory for three fingers?" He replied, "Thirty camels." I pointed towards all four fingers and asked, "What is obligatory for them?" He replied, "Twenty camels." The narrator says, "I asked, 'When her pain increased and the suffering became greater, why did the compensation decrease?'" He replied, "Are you from Iraq?" I said, "Is a learned scholar better or an ignorant student?" He replied, "O my nephew, this is the Sunnah."
