To which family these keys were given and Who is the lucky one who holds the keys of Rasool's tomb?
There is no Muslim in the world who does not wish to visit the grave of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), but there are only a few people in the world who are blessed with this privilege, apart from holding the keys of the Holy Prophet's (PBUH) shrine, the caretakers of the world. They are considered to be the luckiest people.
In the tomb of the Holy Prophet, the blessed grave of the Holy Prophet is present along with the graves of his two companions, Ameerul Momineen, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique, and Hazrat Umar.
There is a four-walled wall around the graves of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and his Companions, which is adjacent to another wall that consists of five walls. This five-cornered wall was built by Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz, and the purpose of having five corners was to him. It was to be saved from the similitude of the Kaaba.
The pilgrims from inside the shrine of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) can only go to the curtain on the five-cornered wall. It is coming which is lying on the five walls of the House of Sharif.
According to historians, like the family holding the keys of the Kaaba, the responsibility of cleaning and maintaining the shrine of the Holy Prophet is also with specific people belonging to a specific area.
These personalities are related to Abyssinia who have been fortunate to take care of the Holy Prophet's Tomb and Masjid Nabawi for the last 8 centuries. The keys to the pulpit of Rasool and Masjid Nabawi are also held by members of this tribe.
