The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Banu Shaybah, to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the key to the Ka'bah
The Shaykh:
What he gave them, he returned to them, he returned it to them, he had it with them before. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: And are they from the tribe of Quraysh?
The Shaykh:
Yes, they are from Quraysh, there is no doubt, yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Because Quraysh shared the duties of the Sacred Mosque. One group had the custodianship, and they were Banu Shaybah, and one group had the provision of water, and that was al-Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, meaning drawing water from Zamzam for the pilgrims, and one group had the provision of food, which is feeding the pilgrims. Yes.
