ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muʾammal narrated, through Ibn Abī Mulaykah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Take it, O descendants of Talḥah, as an enduring, inherited trust; no one will wrest it from you except a wrong-doer.” He meant the custodianship (hijābah) (1).
Al-Haytham and al-Madāʾinī state that he died in 41 AH, while Khalīfah places his death in 42 AH.
3 – Shaybah ibn ʿUthmān ibn Abī Talḥah al-Qurashī (cited by al-Bukhārī, Abū Dāwūd, and Ibn Mājah)
He is ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā al-ʿAbdarī, the Meccan known as al-Hijābī, the keeper of the Kaʿbah—may Allah be pleased with him.
He shared the custodianship of the Sacred House of Allah with his cousin ʿUthmān al-Hijābī.
He was the father of Ṣafiyyah; some said his kunya was Abū ʿUthmān.
The martyr Muṣʿab ibn ʿUmayr al-ʿAbdarī was his maternal uncle, and the Banu Shaybah from his line have continued to hold the keys of the House.
His father was killed as an unbeliever at the Battle of Uḥud; ʿAlī—may Allah be pleased with him—slew him.
(1) The chain of transmission is weak because of the unreliability of ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Muʾammal. See Fath, 8/15. Al-Haythami also cites it in Majmaʿ, 3/285, attributing the report to al-Tabarani in both his Muʿjam al-Kabir and Muʿjam al-Awsat, and declares it defective on account of ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Muʾammal.
