Under this administration, the following tasks of the custodianship of the Ka‘bah were ordained:
Siqāyah: In other words, the arrangement of water for pilgrims during the days of Ḥajj. Since there was a scarcity of water in Makkah, due to the fact that the fountain of Zamzam had been lost for a long period in time. Even if the fountain had been present, this task would have required a specially organized system of functionality, due to the unusual number of people present on the occasion of Ḥajj. During the time of the Holy Prophetsa, this work was delegated to the Banū Hāshim, and was assigned to ‘Abbās bin ‘Abdul-Muṭṭalib.
Rifādah: In other words, to provide for poor pilgrims during the days of Ḥajj. For this purpose, charity was collected every year among the Quraish. During the time of the Holy Prophetsa, this work was delegated to the Banū Nawfal and Ḥārith bin ‘Āmir was directly responsible.
Ḥijābah: In other words, the security and key bearing of the Ka‘bah. During the time of the Holy Prophetsa, this work was assigned to the Banū ‘Abdid-Dār and ‘Uthmān bin Ṭalḥah was appointed. During his lifetime, Qusaiyy supervised these three tasks himself.
