The death of Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him)

Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir said: The name of Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib is al-Mughirah. He died in the year 20 AH, and Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer.

Simak bin Harb said: We were in the tent of Mudrik bin al-Muhallab in Sijistan, and there I heard an elderly man narrating from Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah does not declare pure (or sanctify) a people among whom the weak cannot take his right from the strong without faltering and fear." So the elderly man whom Uthman bin Jabalah did not name in his narration has been explicitly named (Abdullah bin Abi Sufyan) by Ghundar, but he did not mention Abu Sufyan in this chain.

Abdullah bin Abi Sufyan bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib said: A man was owed dates by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) to demand his due, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) borrowed dates from Sayyidah Khawlah bint Hakim (may Allah be pleased with her) and gave them to him, and said: "I did have my own dates, but they were ones watered only by rain (growing wild)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is how the believing servants of Allah act. Indeed, Allah does not show mercy to a people among whom the weak cannot obtain his right without faltering and fear."
