I've Heard multiple times this claim about somali people giving zakat or Charity money to poor arab nations in the past. I've also come across this video where an arab Sheikh says Somalis used to give charity to arabs 100 years ago and even helped the city of Medina during a famine.
Is this true? Does anyone have other evidence of this , maybe some books or articles? The Sheikh mentioned a list of somalis who donated gold and livestock to arabs in medina.
