=== Ishmael and the Custodianship of the Kaaba ===

According to historical reports, Ishmael was responsible for the administration of the House of God until the end of his life. Based on a narration attributed to [[Imam Sadiq (A.S.)]], Ishmael was the first to cover the Kaaba with a curtain and to roof the Kaaba with wood and mud on wooden pillars. Also, the pilgrims, seeing the Kaaba being roofed, decided to help Ishmael. They brought [[sacrifice]]s with them, and Ishmael, with divine guidance, slaughtered the sacrifices and distributed them among the pilgrims.<ref>Al-Kafi, vol. 4, pp. 203-205; Ilal al-Shara'i, vol. 2, pp. 587-588; Wasa'il al-Shi'ah, vol. 13, pp. 210-212.</ref>
