Does the text say they are descendants of Zuber ibn awaam? I was under the impression that the Abdair was a bakri decednded from Mohammed abu atiq ibn Abdirahman ibn Abu Bakar
Afarta timid is just an oral saying, Sultan Fakhruddin full name is Fakhruddin Al Qassani, Abadir is called Faqih Cumar bin Shamsuddin Al Bakri, Abadir being his nickname.
The text is about Cumardiin who married Caasha Caleemo and is father of Dab and Qarsin not Cumardiin grandson of Faqih Cumar Abadir Al Bakri.
The connection is between hararis descending from Abadir and Sheekhaal Aw Qudub .
Harar already existed prior to him, as it was ruled by Amir Haboba
If I am not mistaken, the rulers in Harar/Zeila and Mogadishu were closely linked and shared a strong relationship. I know the Makhzumi dynasty ruled Harar and Zeila. They also ruled Mogadishu. I would appreciate your insight.
I don't know during which dynasty they shared a strong relationship, but yes there was a link such as trade links and people going back and forth to seek knowledge.
They did not rule Harar or Zeila and they most definitely were not anywhere near Mogadishu, that’s Ifat and Adal Sultanate. Makhzumi dynasty was in the highlands of Ethiopia. @Garaad diinle is this not so?
Your completely right, the makhzumi ruling dynasty that ended in the latter half of the 13th century had their base in shewa on the ethiopian highlands where they were defeated by the walashma descendants of aw barkhadle. Harar itself was only a thing in the early 16th century when sultan mahammed of the walashma changed his capital from dakar to harar. There is no mention of harar prior to this.
One of the initial points of Islamic penetration on the Somali coast was Zeila. The Banu Makhzum entered the port of Zeila in the 7th century and began to spread Islam to the communities residing in the interior. Zeila was an active trading port at the time of Banu Makhzum. Zeila was a very strategic and wealthy port town. It was a gateway for internal and external trade for the kingdom of Shewa.
Makhzumi dynasty claims descent from Aw Barkhadle, so it’s likely that they were a branch of the Walashma’s.
The Makhzum were never in Zeila, Shewa traded with Zeila yet never controlled or resided in it.
na the Banu Makhzum are a qureyshi clan they reside in Saudi and Yemen and they claim descent from Umar bin Makhzum. They still live there to this day although they have some descendants in Xamar and Shewa. Their lineage to aw barkhadle could not be possible since aw barkhadle was a horner and born much later than Umar bin Makhzum.
So the sheekhals are decendend from a grandson of the Abdair with the same name. I had my suspicions that might have been the case. As the Abdair had 6 sons whose names didn’t align with the sheekhal sub clans. Do you have the lineage from the fiqi omar the sheekals are decendend from to the abdair?
The Makhazoomis were the predominant islamic power in all of east africa in the 11th ceuntry. The ifat sultante was a minor power, until the Adal branch of the walshama dynasty took over. The dynasty was relatively weak, they would spend most of the centuries from their founding to Sabr ad din II as tributaries of the Abyssinians. There rise came when the capitol would move to Harar. The branch of the reer walshama residing in the city were far more militant.
The Makhzuumi's in south are from a different tribe than makhzuumi's elsewhere, They're only related distantly
Sheekhaal aw qudub descend from son of abadir , Aw qudub. Aw qudub had 6 sons Cumar Siyaad, Cumar Diin, two Abdallah and Siddiq. I haven't seen any sources mention Abadirs sons so far. Also there's silte's that claim Abadir is their ancestor .
