It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The angels accepted Islam willingly, the Ansar accepted Islam willingly, and Abd al-Qays accepted Islam willingly."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat from his teacher Ali bin Sa'id bin Bashir, in whom there is some weakness; the remaining narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy).
