Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (53) A fabricated report in the books of history accuses Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه and some other Makkans of cowardice and treachery. The truth is that Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه fought bravely and he encouraged his son Yazeed رضي الله عنهم to be steadfast. The Muslims fought defensively for the first 4 days. After this, there was a turning point and on the 6th day the Muslims were victorious. ~4,000 Muslims were martyred. ~70,000 Romans were killed. Thus, for every Muslim martyr, ~17-18 Romans were killed. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه thus had lost both his blessed eyes. One during the lifetime of the Messenger ﷺ and one during the battle of Yarmook. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى has Said: “If I take away the eyesight of a slave of Mine and he shows patience and seeks My reward, I will reward him with nothing less than Paradise”. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه thus now resided in Madinah. He رضي الله عنه was in his mid 70s.
