Let me first correct you in something,
You first claimed Malassay were the tribe of ahmed so they were Karanle, nur was among them so you made Him Karanle
Using this:

Who ever wrote this is probably didn't even read the futuh
Malassay weren't a tribe as this guy claimed they were of different ethnic backgrounds but elite fighters
It was like Champions league you'll join if you're an elite fighter

Many of them have non-somali names and also many of them were convert to islam
They aren't one tribe.
"Karanle are taking advantage of a ruler who didnt preserve his tribal legacy" anyone could say the same
I myself believe the imam was Karanle but Nur ibn mujahid was not,
We as somalis do infact heavily rely on oral traditions
Hell the whole existence of the powerful ajuran empire is also oral, no writing manuscripts.
What even makes the oral tradition even way stronger is the fact that the people of the hararghe region believed he was marehan:

There's no scholar that says nur was karanle
Many says he was marehan tho
It's all hypothesis, Believing that Ahmed was Karanle is also hypothesis there's no clear evidence or surviving manuscripts about his tribe.
@Garaad Hirabu is an expert in this, idk alot about people's qabiils
Sidenote: Nur was related to ahmed on his maternal side, his sister married a guy who's supposedly a marehan that gave birth to nur ibn mujahid.
So? The arab revolt was to free the arabs, many of them were against it and were helping the ottoman empire, were the arabs who helped the Ottomans turks?
Also here it mentions that the marehan leader was chosen as the leader of all somalis:

Translation:
"The Somalis, weary of the destruction inflicted on them went to the Imaam (Imaam Axmed), led by their (chosen) leader Hirabu. The Somalis with their leader concluded a complete peace with the Imaam.
After this, the Imaam made preparations for Jihad against Abyssinia, assembling his troops and the
Somalis with their leader, Hirabu."
Marehans might have been antagonistized several times
But that wouldn't change anything, Nur really Appears to be a marehan
Except if you have a better argument

My ears are open brother *don't use Malassay because they're not one tribe but a group of xoogsters of different ethnicities and qabils*
