Bani Shaiba

'the sons of Shaiba') are an Arab clan belonging to the Banu Abd al-Dar sub-clan, that are part of the larger erstwhile Quraysh tribal confederation in the Hejaz region of modern Saudi Arabia.

Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Sheibi (sometimes spelled Al-Shaibi[2]), who died in November 2010, kept the key for eighteen years.

[4] Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Shaibi was the 108th successor of Uthman ibn Talha.

[5] After the demise of Sheikh Abdul Qadir, Dr. Saleh bin Zain Al-Abidin Al-Shaibi, the oldest member of Shaibi family became the new keeper of the keys to the Kaaba until his death on 22nd June 2024.

[7] A free standing arch stood where the houses of Banu Shaybah were located near the Kabah until it was removed circa 1950 CE to expand the Mataf area.
