Hazrat Abu Sufyan Ibn Haris(R.A)
Abu Sufyan Ibn Haris(R.A)
Hazrat Abu Sufyan Ibn Haris(R.A) was the paternal cousin of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and His companion. He is believed to have born around the same days of the birth of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
Abu Sufyan(R.A) and Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) spent the childhood together. Even he was nursed by Haleema Sadia (R.A) for a brief time. However, after the announcing of Islam by Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) he turned against Him and did everything possible to tease Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and Muslims. However, before the Muslims’ victory over Makkah, his heart changed and he went to accept Islam after asking for the forgiveness of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). He forgave him after a while, and afterwards Abu Sufyan(R.A) became a true Muslim and fought bravely for Islam.
During the reign of Hazrat Umar (R.A), Abu Sufyan(R.A) passed away and lies in peace at Jannatul Baqi.
