I.M Lewis
The Daarood are incorrigible liars and later changed their story to their Mother being Dombiro Dir. The great Scholar I.M Lewis dismissed the Arab origin of Daarood and stated, " The Name Dombira is from Ahmed Ibrahim Qazi Wife whose name was Del Wembera Bati 1550, who Imam Nuur later married. I.M Lewis stated there is no way that the great grand father of Dir could have lived in 1550 and Dir is only known to have had four sons only and probably lived in Ethiopia at least 5000 to 7000 thousand years.
Qoute Richard Burton ( The First Foot Steps ) Please consult Book at above link:
'Darud Jabarti 11 bin Ismail bin Akil (or Ukayl) is supposed by his descendants to have been a noble Arab from El Hejaz, who, obliged to flee his country, was wrecked on the north-east coast of Africa, where he married a daughter of the Hawiyah tribe: rival races declare him to have been a Galla slave, who, stealing the Prophet’s slippers12, was dismissed with the words, Inna-tarad-na-hu (verily we have rejected him): hence his name Tarud ([Arabic]) or Darud, the Rejected.13 The etymological part of the story is, doubtless, fabulous; it expresses, however, the popular belief that the founder of the eastward or windward tribes, now extending over the seaboard from Bunder Jedid to Ras Hafun, and southward from the sea to the Webbes14, was a man of ignoble origin. The children of Darud are now divided into two great bodies: “Harti” is the family name of the Dulbahanta, Ogadayn, Warsangali and Mijjarthayn, who call themselves sons of Harti bin Kombo bin Kabl Ullah bin Darud: the other Darud tribes not included under that appellation are the Girhi, Berteri, Marayhan, and Bahabr Ali. The Hawiyah are doubtless of ancient and pagan origin; they call all Somal except themselves Hashiyah, and thus claim to be equivalent to the rest of the nation. Some attempt, as usual, to establish a holy origin, deriving themselves like the Shaykhash from the Caliph Abubekr: the antiquity, and consequently the Pagan origin of the Hawiyah are proved by its present widely scattered state; it is a powerful tribe in the Mijjarthayn country, and yet is found in the hills of Harar."
The Somal, therefore, by their own traditions, as well as their strongly marked physical peculiarities, their customs, and their geographical position, may be determined to be a half-caste tribe, an offshoot of the great Galla race, approximated, like the originally Negro-Egyptian, to the Caucasian type by a steady influx of pure Asiatic blood.
Indeed the Daarood are not of Arab origin but of Wata or Sanya origin as the practiced Waaqfeena Religion of Borana or Gujji . The Daarood which literally means the builder of house indicated he was a Boni Servent or what Borana call Watta Sanya. And that is what the Isaaq Dir responders to Richard Burton meant by Galla Slave a Boni or Waatta slave taken to Arabia and then damped back to the shores of Somaliland. The Daarood sajourned in Yeman and was a Akhdam Slave servent hence the Jeberti usage which referred to a Christian Habasha slave of Yeman who was converted to Islam and returned to EThiopia.
10 Lieut. Cruttenden applies the term Edoor (Aydur) to the descendants of Ishak, the children of Gerhajis, Awal, and Jailah. His informants and mine differ, therefore, toto coelo. According to some, Dirr was the father of Aydur; others make Dirr (it has been written Tir and Durr) to have been the name of the Galla family into which Shaykh Ishak married.
Indeeto the advent of Islaam, Somalis alongside the Oromos and Afars worshipped a monotheistic Supreme deity that had several names, the oft-used name being Waaq (cf. Oromo: Waaqa). Thus it can be rightfully claimed that Waaq was the Cushitic archaic word for God.
