ABU SUFYAAN IBN AL HAARITHAbu Sufyaan Ibn al haarith was the cousin of the Prophet (peace be with him), as he was the son of Al Haarith ibn Abd Al Muttalib. He later guided to Islam after straying from the path of truth. From the first moments after his conversion, he began to strive and worship as if entering a race with time, hoping to erase all traces of his past to compensate for what he had missed during the time of non-believer. His death arose after the death of the Prophet Muhammad(peace be with him). Three days before his death, Abu Sufyan dug his own grave in Al-Baqi' near the house of Aqeel ibn Abi Talib. His date of death is disputed: Umar presided over his funeral prayer.
