One\r\nday people saw him in al-Baqi, the cemetery not far from the Prophet's mosque where many Sahabah are\r\nburied. He was digging and fashioning a grave. They were surprised. Three days later, Abu Sufyan was\r\nlying stretched out at home His family stood around weeping but he said: "Do not weep for me. By God,\r\nI did not commit any wrong since I accepted Islam." With that, he passed away.
