Abu Ghabshan (Arabic: أبو غبشان), real name Salim ibn 'Amr al-Khuza'i was a custodian of the Kaaba during pre-Islamic Arabia.
Abu Ghabshan plays a humorous role in Arab literature, due to his regret in handing over the keys of the Kaaba to the chief of Quraysh, Qusayy ibn Kilab.
[2][3] Qusayy then announced to the public that the official role of custodianship of the Kaaba had been transferred to the descendants of Ishmael.
[2][3] When Abu Ghubshan came back to his senses, he demanded the keys to be returned, but Qusayy firmly denied his request; the Banu Khuza'ah attempted at using military force to retrieve the keys but Qusayy defeated them.
"[2] A poem about Abu Ghubshan has also been transmitted:[1][2] Khuza'ah sold Allah's house while drunk; for a sack of wine, what a wretched transaction!
