It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa, may Allah have mercy on him, that Ziyad wrote a letter to Hazrat Ummul Momineen Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, in this manner: "From Ziyad bin Abi Sufyan..." in the hope that she would also address him as "Ibn Abi Sufyan." The narrator says that in reply, she wrote: "From Ummul Momineen Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, to her son Ziyad."
