Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ أَتْبَاعٌ، وَإِنَّا قَدِ اتَّبَعْنَاكَ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ أَتْبَاعَنَا مِنَّا‏.‏ فَدَعَا بِهِ‏.‏ فَنَمَيْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى‏.‏ قَالَ قَدْ زَعَمَ ذَلِكَ زَيْدٌ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Ghundar narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us, from ʿAmr. I heard Abu Hamza narrate from Zayd ibn Arqam: The Helpers said, “Messenger of Allah, every prophet has followers, and we have followed you. Ask Allah to make our followers from among us.” He prayed for that. I conveyed this to Ibn Abi Layla, who said, “Zayd claimed that.”
