حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو , سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ : 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 " .
Narrated Zaid bin Al-Arqam: The Annwar said, "O Allah's Apostle! Every prophet has his own followers and we have followed you. So will you invoke Allah to let our followers be considered from us (as Ansar too)?" So he invoked Allah accordingly.

Hadith Commentary:
The meaning of the hadith is that Allah, the Exalted, should make our followers among the Ansar and grant them the same honor and dignity that has been bestowed upon us, or the intent is that they should follow in our footsteps and attain the same status that we have received. Accordingly, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) supplicated for them:
“O Allah! Forgive the Ansar, forgive their sons, and have mercy and grace upon their grandsons.”
(Sahih Muslim, Virtues of the Companions, Hadith: 64. 14(2506))
In another narration, he supplicated in these words:
“O Allah! Forgive the Ansar, their children, and their allies and freed slaves (mawali).”
(Sahih Muslim, Virtues of the Companions, Hadith: 64. 16(2507))
The intent of the Ansar was that just as we have a rank and status, likewise our children, slaves, allies, and those connected to us should also attain the same rank. Thus, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), honoring their wishes, supplicated for them.
