Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S49) During the Era of the Khilaafur Raashideen رضي الله عنهم: The Messenger ﷺ passed away ~11 A.H. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه was ~73 years old. He رضي الله عنه resided in Madinah, even though he used to be the chief of the Quraysh. Such was his رضي الله عنه love for the Messenger ﷺ. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه thought that the successor of the Messenger ﷺ should be from a prominent Quraysh tribe. He رضي الله عنه speaks to Ali and Abaas رضي الله عنهم. All the Companions رضي الله عنهم knew that the most worthy to succeed amongst them was Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه. They رضي الله عنهم pledged to him رضي الله عنه. Abu Sufyaan and his sons Yazeed and Muawiya رضي الله عنهم were loyal to Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه. They fought at the battle of Yarmook.
