'Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Waki' narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jabir, who said: On the day of Qurayzah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who will bring us news of the people? Al-Zubayr said: I will. He asked again: Who will bring us news of the people? Al-Zubayr said: I will—three times. The Prophet said: Every prophet has a devoted supporter, and my devoted supporter is al-Zubayr.

The Arabic says the “people” (al-qawm) and identifies al-Zubayr as hawari, a devoted supporter or disciple; the English witness provides explanatory glosses.
