حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَالَوَيْهِ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَرْبِيُّ ثنا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ
وَمِمَّنْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ وَلَدِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَهْلِي» وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ سَيِّدُ فَتَيَانِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» وَصَبَرَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَأَبْصَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي عَمَايَةِ الصُّبْحِ فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قَالَ ابْنُ أُمِّكِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ «حَلَقَهُ الْحَلَّاقُ فَقَطَعَ ثُؤْلُولًا مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْقَأْ عَنْهُ الدَّمُ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَذَلِكَ فِي سَنَةِ عِشْرِينَ وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَكَانَ تَلَقَّى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَارِجٌ إِلَى مَكَّةَ لِلْفَتْحِ فَأَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ الْفَتْحِ»

✧ Among those who accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the descendants of al-Harith b. Abd al-Muttalib was Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith b. Abd al-Muttalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'He is among the best of my family.' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'He is the master of the youths of the people of Paradise.' He stood firm with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Hunayn, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him in the dimness of dawn and said: 'Who is this?' He replied: 'The son of your mother, O Messenger of Allah.' And he said: 'The barber shaved him and cut a wart from his head, and the blood did not stop until he died, and that was in the year 20. Umar b. al-Khattab prayed over him. He had met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on part of the road while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was going out to Makkah for the conquest, and he embraced Islam before the conquest.'
