It is narrated from Umar bin Murrah, he says: I heard Abu Hamzah Talhah bin Yazid say, the Ansar submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Every prophet has some followers, we have followed you. Now pray that Allah Almighty makes our followers from among us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for them that Allah Almighty makes their followers from among them. I mentioned this hadith to Ibn Abi Layla, so he said that Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) has also done the same.
