Faarax Suusle, Peacemaker Extraordinaire

Post by Cilmiile »

Faarax Cabdi Qodax, better known as Faarax Suusle, was a Chief Caaqil of the Reer Weyd, Xirsi Cismaan(XC being the most powerful HY clan). Faarax Suusle was the man who brought to conclusion the wars betweeen HY and HJ in the 1950s with a single powerful gesture. Read on.


**********************************************************

Elders mediating two warring clans met under the court tree and started discussing how best to end the hostilities among theseclans. As they continued in their discussions, some of the delegates from one of the warring clans took a very uncompromising position, and the going seemed to be getting very tough.

So at that moment Farah Suusle, a brave and peace-loving mediating elder from one of the warring clans, stood up and requested that the mediators ask the gentleman who hadtaken the uncompromising position: “What are your conditions for peace?” The man said, “I demand that your clan come here before my clan, carrying shoes in their mouths [an extreme humiliation and crawling on the ground. Only then will I consider accepting a peace deal with your clan.”

Farah Suusle stood up immediately, as soon as the man had finished speaking, took his shoes off his feet, put them into his mouth, and started crawling on the ground toward the man who had made that demand.

And the war and all hostilities between these two clans ended, simply by the humble and peace-loving actions of Farah Suusle.

This is considered out-right insult not just humiliation by somali standards.

Clearly a visionary.

Abdullah Ibn Hudhafah As-Sahmi - Noble Companion of the Prophet (saw).

History would have by-passed this man as it had by- passed thousands of Arabs before him. He, like them, would have had no claim to attention or fame. The greatness of Islam, however, gave to Abdullah ibn Hudhafah the opportunity to meet two world potentates of his time -- Khusraw Parvez the King of Persia and Heraclius, the Byzantine emperor.


The story of his encounter with Khusraw Parvez began in the sixth year of the hijrah when the Prophet decided to send some of his Companions with letters to rulers outside the Arabian peninsula inviting them to Islam.

The Prophet attached great importance to this initiative. These messengers were going to distant lands with whom there was no agreement or treaty. They did not know the languages of these lands nor anything about the ways and disposition of their rulers. They were to invite these rulers to give up their religion and forsake their power and glory and enter the religion of a people who shortly before were almost their subjects. The mission was undoubtedly hazardous.

To make known his plan, the Prophet called his companions together and addressed them. He started by praising God and thanking Him. He then recited the Shahadah and went on: "I want to send some of you to the rulers of foreign lands but don't dispute with me as the Israelites disputed with Jesus, the son of Mary."

"O Prophet of God, we shall carry out whatever you wish," they responded. "Send us wherever you desire."

The Prophet commissioned six of his Sahabah to carry his letters to Arab and foreign rulers. One of these was Abdullah ibn Hudhafah. He was chosen to take the Prophet's letter to Khusraw Parvez, the Persian king.

Abdullah got his camel ready and bade farewell to his wife and son. He set out, alone, and traversed mountains and valleys until he reached the land of the Persians.

He sought permission to enter into the king's presence informing the guards of the letter he was carrying. Khusraw Parvez thereupon ordered his audience chamber to be made ready and summoned his prominent aides. When they had assembled he gave permission for Abdullah to enter.

Abdullah entered and saw the Persian potentate dressed in delicate, flowing robes and wearing a great, neatly arranged turban. On Abdullah was the plain, coarse clothes of the Bedouin. His head though was held high and his feet were firm. The honor of Islam burned fiercely in his breast and .he power of faith pulsated in his heart.

As soon as Khusraw Parvez saw him approaching he signaled to one of his men to take the letter from his hand.

"No," said Abdullah. "The Prophet commanded me to hand over this letter to you directly and I shall not go against a command of the Messenger of God."

"Let him come near to me," Khusraw said to his guards and Abdullah went forward and handed over the letter. Khusraw then called an Arab clerk who originally came from Hira and ordered him to open the letter in his presence and read its contents. He began reading: "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of God, to Khusraw the ruler of Persia. Peace on whoever follows the guidance . . ."

Khusraw only heard this much of the letter when the fire of anger burst within him. His face became red and he began to perspire around the neck. He snatched the letter from the clerk's hand and began tearing it to pieces without knowing what else it contained and shouted, "Does he dare to write to me like this, he who is my slave?" He was angry that the Prophet had not given him precedence in his letter. He then commanded Abdullah to be expelled from his assembly.

Abdullah was taken away, not knowing what would happen to him. Would he be killed or would he be set free? But he did not want to wait to find out. He said, "By God, I don't care what happens to me after the letter of the Prophet has been so badly treated." He managed to get to his camel and rode off.

When Khusraw's anger had subsided he commanded that Abdullah be brought before him. But Abdullah was nowhere to be found. They searched for him all the way to the Arabian peninsula but found that he had gone ahead.

Back in Madinah, Abdullah told the Prophet how Khusraw had torn his letter to pieces and the Prophet's only reply was, "May God tear up his kingdom".

Meanwhile, Khusraw wrote to Badhan, his deputy in the Yemen, to send two strong men to "that man who has appeared in the Hijaz" with orders to bring him to Persia.

Badhan dispatched two of his strongest men to the Prophet and gave them a letter to him in which he was ordered to go with the two men to meet Khusraw without delay. Badhan also asked the two men to get whatever information they could on the Prophet and to study his message closely.

The men set out, moving very quickly. At Ta'if they met some Quraysh traders and asked them about Muhammad. "He is in Yathrib," they said and they went on to Makkah feeling extremely happy. This was good news for them and they went around telling other Quraysh, "You will be pleased. Khusraw is out to get Muhammad and you will be rid of his evil."

The two men meanwhile made straight for Madinah where they met the Prophet, handed him the letter of Badhan and said to him, "The king of kings, Khusraw, has written to our ruler Badhan to send his men to get you. We have come to take you with us. If you come willingly, Khusraw has said that it will be good for you and he will spare you any punishment. If you refuse, you will know the power of his punishment. He has power to destroy you and your people."

The Prophet smiled and said to them, "Go back to your mounts today and return tomorrow."

On the following day, they came to the Prophet and said to him, "Are you prepared to go with us to meet Khusraw?"

"You shall not meet Khusraw after today," replied the Prophet. "God has killed him and his son Shirwaih has taken his place on such a night and on such a month."

The two men stared in the face of the Prophet. They were completely dumbfounded.

"Do you know what you are saying?" they asked. "Shall we write about this to Badhan?"

"Yes," replied the Prophet, "and say to him that my religion has informed me about what has happened to the kingdom of Khusraw and that if he should become Muslim, I would appoint him ruler over what he now controls."

The two men returned to the Yemen and told Badhan what had happened. Badhan said, "If what Muhammad has said is true, then he is a Prophet. If not then we shall see what happens to him."

Not long afterwards, a letter from Shirwaih came to Badhan in which he said, "I killed Khusraw because of his tyranny against our people. He regarded as lawful the killing of leaders, the capturing of their women and the expropriating of their wealth. When this my letter reaches you, take the allegiance of whoever is with you on my behalf."

As soon as Badhan had read Shirwaih's letter, he threw it aside and announced his entry into Islam. The Persians with him in the Yemen also became Muslim.

That's the story of Abdullah ibn Hudhafah's meeting with the Persian king. His meeting with the Byzantine emperor took place during the caliphate of Umar ibn alKhattab. It too is an astonishing story.

In the nineteenth year after the Hijrah, Umar dispatched an army to fight against the Byzantines. In it was Abdullah ibn Hudhafah. News of the Muslim force reached the Byzantine emperor. He had heard of their sincerity of faith, and their willingness to sacrifice their lives in the way of God and His Prophet. He gave orders to his men to bring to him any Muslim captive they might take alive.

God willed that Abdullah ibn Hudhafah should fall captive to the Byzantines and he was brought before the Emperor. The Emperor looked at Abdullah for a long time. Suddenly he said, "I shall make a proposal to you."

"What is it?" asked Abdullah.

"I suggest that you become a Christian. If you do this, you will be set free and I shall grant you a safe refuge."

The prisoner's reaction was furious: "Death is preferable to me a thousand times to what you ask me to do."

"I see that you are a bold man. However, if you respond positively to what I propose to you, I will give you a share in my authority and swear you in as my aide."

The prisoner, shackled in his chains, smiled and said, "By God, if you give me all that you possess and all that the Arabs have in exchange for giving up the religion of Muhammad, I shall not do so."

"Then I shall kill you."

"Do what you want," answered Abdullah.

The emperor then had him put on a cross and ordered his soldiers to throw spears at him, first near his hands and then near his feet, all the while telling him to accept Christianity or at least give up his religion. This he refused over and over again to do.

The emperor then had him taken down from the wooden cross. He called for a great pot to be brought. This was filled with oil which was then heated under a fierce fire. He then had two other Muslim prisoners brought and had one of them thrown into the boiling oil. The prisoner's flesh sizzled and soon his bones could be seen. The emperor turned to Abdullah and invited him to Christianity.

This was the most terrible test that Abdullah had had to face up till now. But he remained firm and the emperor gave up trying. He then ordered that Abdullah too be thrown into the pot. As he was being taken away he began to shed tears. The emperor thought that he had at last been broken and had him brought back to him. He once more suggested that Abdullah become a Christian but to his astonishment, Abdullah refused.

"Damn you! Why did you weep then?" shouted the emperor.

"I cried," said Abdullah, "because I said to myself: 'You will now be thrown into this pot and your soul will depart'. What I really desired then was to have as many souls as the number of hairs on my body and to have all of them thrown into this pot for the sake of God."

The tyrant then said, "Will you kiss my head? I will then set you free?"

"And all the Muslim prisoners also?" asked Abdullah.

This the emperor agreed to do and Abdullah said to himself, "One of the enemies of God! I shall kiss his head and he shall set me and all other Muslim prisoners free. There can be no blame on me for doing this." He then went up to the emperor and kissed his forehead. All the Muslim prisoners were released and handed over to Abdullah.

Abdullah ibn Hudhafah eventually came to Umar ibn alKhattab and told him what had happened. Umar was greatly pleased and when he looked at the prisoners he said, "Every Muslim has a duty to kiss the head of Abdullah ibn Khudhafah and I shall start."

Umar then got up and kissed the head of Abdullah ibn Hudhafah.

Come to think of it, this man was a peaceful old man. The HabarJeclo blow that incident out of proportion, but I think it was noble of the HabarYoonis elder to do so.

But hell naaaw I would've not done it!. Laughing I would have shot the motherfuccer right in his big forehead!.

To the shameless Afxakame's breed

Lets just say, as a Habaryoonis man with [four balls], I am here to neither deny this nor accept it as a factual historical happening. That I would rather save it for a day when the Habarjeclo clansmen bring this forth as a point to score against the Habaryoonis clansmen. But that is for another day and time.

As for the shameless Dooros, perhaps, Yes perhaps, people might have believed you this if it were another clan. But Habaryoonis? I am sure many are laughing out load. Not with you. But at you. what a foolish Dooro you are.

If only it wasn't the same clan that made you shit on your pants in the infamous Daarood Ku Xaar. If perhaps it wasn't the same clan that made you cry:

Doqonkii Ogadeen ahaa Doolo laga Qaad dhehh
Loo diid Danood iyo Haduu Degi lahaa Hawd Dheh
Habaryoonis ayaa Dhulkoodi Xukunta Ladaba Daamood Dheh

If perhaps it wasn't the same clan that made your uncle Cali Futo-sheegsheeg:

Gun Baan ahay, Ganbo ayaan xidhnay iyo Garnaagoode
Gashaantida Sideedo kalaan Guur u sugayaa
Anaga iyo Habalaha loo galmoodo waa Gudboonahaye
Habaryoonis godobtaydu waa lagama goostaane
Ogadeenka Nooso Gabyow waa Gar xaajaduye


Only then you might have convinced a few that this was actually true.

As habaryoonis we have nothing to prove. History is litered with the corpses of our enemies. We are an unshakeable ironshield for the rest of the Isaaq nation.

Ina adeer, I think its one of those seasons again. Ileen lax karbaash baratay halkii lagu karbaashi jiray uunbay iskeenta.

It was Ina Dube, the same guy who barred Cali Dhuux from watering his shecamel at a Watering well which was formerly owned by Cagdheers. That incident of refusal was the reason that prompted the old toothless homosexual to cry rivers. Laughing

Ina Dube, a twenty something year old poet/soldier... this is what he had to say to the cryies of the toothless homo, daring the Qurjiiles to do something about it. Mentioning the fact that Cali Dhuux was begging for days to water his thirty shecamel...

Waa lagu dhintaa Geelayaga, sida dhunkaaleeda
Ma dhaqaaqdo qoladii fardaa, dhuuban gelisaaye
Ma dhadhamin wadaadkii Hartiga, dhoon ka buuxsadaye

Haddii dheegga Haaneedka sumad, dheeri kaga taallo
Dhurwaaguba ma cuno tuugga aan, dhaqanse mooyaane
Isba dhuuni waa jecel yihiyo, sidigta dhaameele

Dhacaa laga horraysiiyayoo, dheeha malahayne
Dhirta debedda waakii fadhiyey, toban dharaaroode [ Cali Dhuux]
Bal Dhulbahante Habar Yoonis, muu dhiin ka kala gooyo

H.J ma idinkaa saw anaka ma ahaa Laughing ,

Faarax Suusle is the grandson of the legendry Adan Juglle the man who issued his famous tribal "fatwa" for the H.Y that a habar yoonis man should never pay a pride's wealth for any Daarood maid , he should just take her by force. and the nefew of the great Faacuul Adan Juglle. Its absloutley noble to be meek to a kin and a killer plague to an enemy.

Faarax Suusle was well known for his wise decesions, there was no H.Y assembly without his presence under the acacia tree , till one day the H.Y raided the Dhulbahnate and brought as a booty a Dhulbahnate angle and she was wed to Faarax Suusle , missing the tribal 'shir' for few times the H.Y at last had enough and ordered the killing of the Dhulos woman.

Faarax Suusle never uttered a word he came to the assembly tree choosing the betterment of his kin as opposed to his woman,

then the next season he was wed to another Dhulbahnate free of charge this time under propbation less he miss the 'shir' again. Laughing

The Ogaadeen taunted the Qurjiile fo years to kill one of the big 5 of the H.Y for the revenge for Axmed Cige (Cali Geri) cheif Caaqil and Xaaji Camey Cumar cheif caaqil for the Hagar Adan. Maxamed Cumar Dage composed over 5 poems for the Xaarti to dare kill a single cheif Caaqil of the 5 .

1- Jaamac Shire

2- Maxamed Cul U joog

3- Faarax Suusle

4- Amaan Jaamac

5- Muruq Liqe.

Ragse godobtii waa haybiyaa, heeray gaadhab'e
Hadaad aarihiinii heshaan, haadu kala wayne
Haramacad weer iyo libaax, kala hagaag roone
Bahdii nimay u heedhaa qabiil, laga hawaystaaye
Cawad Khuurshe oon lala helayn, holoca baaruuda
Amaan Jamaac hilibkiisa wayn, haada la cunsiinin
Hogaduu fadhiyey Muruq-liqoon, heermay laga yeelin
Ama aan Maxamed lagu haanjarayn, haalig la afeeyay
Faarax Suusle oon lala hormarin, gumac halaakeeya
Kuwa suuqa haashaarayiyo, hebelo raad gooya
Raggiinii kobtii lagu hantiyey, dhiig ku hagac siiya
Nafta hura iyadoo hadheey, hibasho reebtaaye
Haddii kale huluulaha ku jira, habi laÂ’aantiina
( Maxamed Cumar Dage)1

Kobtii Xaajigii lagu dag dhabay, kama danbeeyaane
Arliguu dangiigo u ahaa, laga dabayloowye
Siddii xoon laxdiisii dunteey, ugu dul meeraane
Isagu Aakhiruu degay Ilaah, deeqii how furo e
Maxilaha dumaasha u hadhay, dacari haysaaye
Danqan maayo reer Faarixii, damaca waalaaye
Axmed Cigana duugow haddaan, lagu danbaabayne
Daynkoodu Habaryoonis waa, lagama doontaane
(Maxamed Cumar Dage).2

Murdud Reebe gabaygaan kal horre uunka maqashiiyey
Een midhaha Daarood dhex dhigay mucurtiduu reebay
Gabaygii muunsanoowga iyo ahaa hiil u mara xoorka
Gabaygaan muqadimiintii la jaray ugu muraaqooday
Gabaygaan Hartiga maaxiyiyo Mudug raggii joogay
Gabaygaan u maakibay in loo mudo masaalkooda
Murtaan xidhanay Habar Yoonistii murunku noo yiilay
Niman madaxyo weyn ah oo muhindisoonaaya
Anigoo Macbuudka u hayoo malag la doonaaya
Gabaygaan magaalad lahaa mayd halaga qaado
Abtir lagama maydhiyo nimaad mini wadaagtaane
Ficil waa musiibee intaan gibil madoobaaday
Lagu maadsay goortaan lahaa waa la murugoone
Gabaygaan manaabada lahaa maqan ku raadcayso
Raggii aaro looguma maqnoo waaba loomarag e
Malahay khasaaryeey sidaan halkaa ugu muraad seegay
Inay midigta qaadaan lawaa miidha Habarwaaye
Milgihii Shirshooraan sugayn muuno duul gob ahe
Mulkigii Garaad Faaraxoow idinka maaroowye
Dadku magaca waw wada jiray midhaha Daarood e
Isagaase laga maagi jiray maydh la oloshaaye
Wax maqaanihii lgala baxay manta Reer Hagar e
In uu miilo gabay Reer Cameey maqal Ogaadeen e
Marwo jabbe markii lagu jarriyo murankii qoolabe
Milgo xumo Bah Dahabaan lahaa milicsan maayaane
Maxamuud Gureey iyo Bilow malihii beenoowye
Mara wenyta Reer Faraxoow deyse murankiiye Laughing
(maxamed cumar dage)3

Shaybiyo haddii aan la layn Ina Shiraha Jaamac
Haddaan shaqabka Col-ujoog ka tagay loogu shalow siinin
Aararsame shafkii ma aha iyo shaanki reer boqore
Hanna sheegannina waxaydin dhalay baliyo shaydaane
(maxamed cumar dage 4)

All these poems by the Ogaadeen to the Xaarti resulted in not killing a single H.Y cheif. If Faarax Suusle would have been killed by the Kuumbus it would have been a shame , but for him to make peace between his kins to humilate further the Kuumbus is a visionary.
