Abu Sufyan ibn Harb
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Abu Sufyan Sakhr ibn Harb al-Umawi was a chief and trader of Quraysh who led Quraysh's great caravan — the cause of Badr — and carried the polytheists' banner at Uhud and the Trench. He stood at the head of the first feud against the call, then accepted Islam in 8 AH just before the conquest of Mecca — some say willingly, some by circumstance — and the Prophet ﷺ received him and told the Meccans that whoever entered Abu Sufyan's house was safe. He witnessed Hunayn with the Muslims and was given from the share of 'those whose hearts are to be reconciled'; at the Yarmuk he lost his second eye, having lost the first earlier. He was Mu'awiya's father and grandfather of Yazid and Mu'awiya II, and died an old man in Medina around 32 AH.
