^Hawiye welcoming Zaidite political dissidents to Mogadishu in the 15th century. It’s clear even in the 15th century political dissident seeking refuge in Xamar's first point of call was to pay homage to Hawiye, they were continuing the tradition since the time the ruler Sheikh Abu Bakar of Xamar during Ibn Battutas visit 2 centuries earlier used Zaydis to fight with the Habesha and according to Sharif Aydurus in a seperate source those Hawiye working with the Zaydis were Ajuran which matches the history of the region, Hawiye like always welcomed people to the South.

^Ajuuraan elders themselves will tell you they are Hawiye
Ajan is a corrupted meaning for Hawiye. The root of the word Ajan is Accannæ, a Latin word not a greek or persian word and means fire. It came about during the late Roman era which definitely coincides with a Somali presence in the Horn. The latin writers as late as 1590 were confirming the modern name for their reference to Ajan is Hawiye. By this time the Romans picked up on the differences of Berbers, Zenjis and Habesha like the Arabs had done and you will find several collated maps they title "Adea (Hadya), Adel, Ajan e Zanguebar" much like the Arabs grouping East Africa as "Habesha, Berber and Zanj". It is likely they took Arabic bearings of the Coast (Idrisi and ibn Said mention the country of Hawiye, Dimashqi goes a bit further and calls the south the coast of Hawiya named for its heat - he believed Hawiye is a misreading for Haawiyah and thought its named the area due to its hot hell bound surface). It's really unfortunate that those Somalis in their era did not have their own maps or provide input to correct the bearings on their lands by foreigners. 2 or 3 successive linguistic errors almost hid crucial history for centuriea. Ajan is more Hawiye than Awdal/Adal is being a Somali word. Awdal may have only been used after Ifat in official records but Awdal is said linguistically by authors to come from Adulis which was a Greek era town in modern Afar country while Azania is a Persian term having nothing to do with the Latin Fire (Ajan) but to donate the general Negro people that at times included all Black people of modern Africa or the specific Negroid population under their suzeiranity
