Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

The two Companions who lived sixty years in the pre-Islamic era and sixty years as Muslims and died in Madeenah in the year 54 A.H and not in the year 45 A.H., are Hakeem ibn Hizaam ibn Khuwaylid Al-Qurashi, nicknamed as Abu Khuwaylid, and Huwaytib ibn 'Abdul-'Uzza Al-Qurashi.

Allaah Knows best.
