I thought there was around that timeframe there was a Sheikh called Ahmed Gurey who was Karaanle Hawiye and but the Imam Ahmed Gurey was Marehan.

Maybe it was the other way round? What is the book called?

The other Ahmed Gurey was Habar Maqdi (Magaadle?). But the Imam is reer Baabile. There is no other Somali or non Somali who are able to list the Imam's abtirsi and recognise his siblings and descendants by name.

The excerpt i quoted is from a Frankfurt University paper, it is referring to the same book Ya Gragn Warara.

I remember in cafes when I would go with my father to get some shaah I would overhear the odeyaal arguint about Ahmed GUREY, although whenever Nur was mentioned everyone would agree he was mx
The main focus was figuring out exactly what tribe Gurey hailed from. Fast forward a few years and now the Amirs ancestry is in question. :dead: :dead:

I reckon he's Abgaaal Cismaan. We have a long line of Sheikhs and Imams.

Him and Amir Nur had the same qabil I'm sure. Somalis need to stop using these guys as FKD. Now even Ethiopians are trying to claim them. I've even heard of Arabs doing this.

He's definitely somali and his name is proof of that. Regardless of qabil he had a significant impact on our history and the spread of Islam. This is a win for all Somalis across the board.

some colonial sources say he was garhajis but I’ve also seen some dir people claim him, others say he was an arab and a friend of sheikh isxaaq, who knows. I remember a friend telling me the cidagale that look after his grave have memorized his abtirsi.

He was from Zeila modern day SL so it could be any of those qabils. But theirs no way an Arab immigrant would have that name. Thats just plain highway robbery.

I question a lot of the arab stories in somalia/SL, because somalis are the least welcoming to ajanabis even arabs.

why would random geeljire men let their women marry dhegacass travelers and start whole lineages

There are so many theories on this. If he had descendants that could trace their lineage it'd be amazing. I think until Judgement day it will remain a mystery.

  • magadle is an old tribe that is found in sanaag
  • habar magadle was the mother of a few isaaq tribes, hence the ‘habar’ before it. she was from the magadle tribe, and those few isaaq tribes were called that as a collective.
  • maqdi is a dir tribe, also old

somalis and their names, there are also so many isxaaqs, mikahils, dauuds etc. In different tribes. somalis and using similar names
:snoop:

I've actually met a few people who shared the same abtirsi as him. They were also ina Nuur like you've mentioned, another sub clan of MX.
