After the conquest of Mecca,
Abu Sufyan fought as one of Prophet Muhammad's(pbuh) commanders in the subsequent wars.
During the Siege
of Taif, he lost an eye.
When Muhammed died in 632, Abu
Sufyan was in charge of Najran.
Abu Sufyan also fought in the Battle
of Yarmouk in 636,
in which he lost his second eye.
He played a very important role
in the war, being the Naqeeb (chief of staff) of the Muslim army.
He fought under command of his son Yazid bin Abu Sufyan.
He fought under command of his son Yazid bin Abu Sufyan.
Abu Sufyan died at the age of
ninety in 650 at Medina.
His kinsman Uthman Ibn Affan, who had become the third Caliph in 644, led the prayer over his grave.
Read the following Hadis and tell me how much the Messenger
loved the Ansar
Did he love Abu sufian and family so much?
Who planned and killed the prophet's uncle Hamza and barbarically mutilated his body?
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 122:
Narrated Anas:
On the day of the Conquest of Mecca, when the Prophet had given (from the booty) the Quraish, the Ansar said,
"By Allah, this is indeed very strange: While our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish, our war booty are distributed amongst them."
When this news reached the Prophet he called the Ansar and said,
"What is this news that has reached me from you?"

They used not to tell lies, so they replied,
"What has reached you is true."
The Prophet said,
"Doesn't it please you that the people take the booty to their homes and you take Allah's Apostle to your homes?
If the Ansar took their way through a valley or a mountain pass, I would take the Ansar's valley or a mountain pass.

There is a huge difference in Islamic history
between the Meccan immigrants who sacrificed their life and properties for the
sake of Islam ( same with the Ansars) and people like Abu Sufian who agreed to
be converted after the victory over the Meccans at the 11th hour
We should keep the Shiah Sunny conflict away and think objectively and read more on history
