grep-awk one liner help

Hi guys, I'm trying to create a one line command that does the following.

I will post my command first so you can get the idea better:
Code:
ls -larht | awk '{print $4}' | uniq | xargs grep *

__________
Code:
ls -larht | awk '{print $4}' | uniq

This will post the name of the groups of each file inside a folder(without repeating).

Then I need to search those groupnames inside the files using grep.
Code:
[erickramirez@sdevgos01 ~/prueba]$ ls -larht
total 12K
-rw-r--r-- 1 erickramirez ccusers   46 Jan 28 08:28 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 erickramirez ccusers   78 Jan 28 08:28 2

[erickramirez@sdevgos01 ~/prueba]$ ls -larht | awk '{print $4}' | uniq

ccusers

## Now I want to search "ccusers" inside each file on the directory
Code:
[erickramirez@sdevgos01 ~/prueba]$ ls -larht | awk '{print $4}' | uniq | xargs grep *
grep: ccusers: No such file or directory

It's taking the result of the last command as the second argument (path) instead of the keyword. Please help! Smilie

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
