Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَمْزَةَ ـ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ ـ قَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ أَتْبَاعًا، وَإِنَّا قَدِ اتَّبَعْنَاكَ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ أَتْبَاعَنَا مِنَّا‏.‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَتْبَاعَهُمْ مِنْهُمْ ‏" ‏‏.‏ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَذَكَرْتُهُ لاِبْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى‏.‏ قَالَ قَدْ زَعَمَ ذَاكَ زَيْدٌ‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَظُنُّهُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ‏.‏

Translation

Adam narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us: ʿAmr ibn Murra narrated to us. He said: I heard Abu Hamza—a man from the Helpers—say: The Helpers said, “Every people has followers, and we have followed you. Ask Allah to make our followers from among us.” The Prophet said, “O Allah, make their followers from among them.” ʿAmr said: I mentioned this to Ibn Abi Layla, who said, “Zayd claimed that.” Shuʿba said, “I think he means Zayd ibn Arqam.”
