Abu Sufyan

The Battle of Khandaq (627 CE), also called the Battle of the Trench, was a twenty-seven-day siege of Medina by a coalition of some ten thousand Quraysh and allied tribes. On Salman al-Farsi's advice the Muslims dug a defensive trench, and the coalition withdrew without a decisive battle.

The Battle of Uhud (March 625 CE) was the second major engagement between Medina's Muslims and the Meccan Quraysh. After an early Muslim advantage, archers left their posts, enabling a Qurayshi cavalry attack that wounded the Prophet, killed Hamza, and ended in a strategic draw.

Umm Habiba, born Ramla bint Abi Sufyan, was a wife of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and daughter of the Quraysh leader Abu Sufyan. She accepted Islam early, emigrated to Abyssinia, and her marriage to the Prophet was contracted there by proxy through the Negus.
