The Abu Sufyan mentioned in the description of dishonoring someone's honor is Abu Sufyan ibn Al-Harith ibn Abd Al-Muttalib, the cousin of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He used to satirize the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, before his conversion to Islam. As for the mention of Umaymah bint Al-Nu'man ibn Sharahil, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, married her, and when he entered upon her, she said, "I seek refuge in Allah from you." So he divorced her and honored her. Al-Bukhari titled a chapter on this hadith, "Chapter: Concerning one who divorces, and whether a man confronts his wife with divorce."
