The Suure Dir and Quraish descent beliefs

The Somali clans sometimes claim Arab descent with substantial history or knowlegable account. The common theory of the Suure Mahe Dir is that the Ashaab or followers of Prophet S.A..W migrated from Jiddah to Djabouti coast in what is known as the First Hijra and Islaamic traditions say over 80 ashaabis and khallif Uthman and a daughter of the prophet came to the Horn or Africa and gave birth to descendent of Dir and Samaale clans in general. This account and who were the ashaabis who came is given.



Dir claim to be descendants of Muhammad ibn Aqil, the son of Aqeel ibn Abu Talib. Aqeel ibn Abu Talib was second of four sons of Abu Talib ibn ‘Abdu’l-Muttalib, who was the uncle and protector of prophet Muhammad, head of the Banu Hashim. They have a strong tribal relationship with the other Hashemites.
