The Chieftain's Response to the Koraysh

When a person would leave the jahili religion they would say he has become sahabit. The koraysh mistakenly said to anybody who left their faith you’re a sebian you're a sahabit and so they would make fun of the early muslims by calling them sahabi un sahab. They were forced to eat this at times of extreme drought when they don't have any wheat. Abu Sufyan had to write a letter to the prophet salallahu kasana but even as he swallowed his pride could not be completely covered with harsh letters.
