Xuseen Xasan Bin Rooble Bin Suldaan And his special pony

[The_Emperior5]

This pony of Hassan's was the best I ever saw in Somaliland. He would not put a price on it because, he said, he could make quite a respectable income by going on looting expeditions on its back , as it was so fast nobody could catch him.

A years after this I met Hassan again and asked him how his pony was. He said it was very well, but he had nearly lost it a short time before. He had been down in the waterless plain on a looting expedition with some other Eidegalla warriors. After a successful raid they spilt up to avoid pursuit, and Hassan was on his way home driving some of the looted camels in front of him. It was a very dry year, and although it was in the rainy season he had been unable to find any water in the pools to give to his pony. The result was that having been riden hard for tow or three days with little or no water to drink, the pony got beat, and at last lay down about twenty miles from the wells they were making for.

No amount of stick would get it on its legs again, and Hassan was in despair. He knew that there were no villages at the wells where he could possibly get a vessel to carry water back for the pony, and it seemed as if nothing be done to save it.

At last he thought of a plan. Driving the camels at top speed to the wells, he gave them as much as water as they could drink and then hurried them back again. He found the pony where he had left it, in a very bad way, but immediately proceeding to kill and cut open the camels, he took the water out of their stomachs and gave it to the pony, which revived sufficiently to struggle on to the wells. After a few days rest, it completely recovred. Hassan added that he could very soon get some more camels and that he would rather have cut the throats of a hundred than have lost his pony.

xuseen xasan was great warrior he ones said in one of his poems



Xuseen xasan waxa isagoo 80 jir ah Ugaadeen aano ugu dilay geyiga CIID. Xuseen inta la qabtay isagoo oday ah ayaa loo geeyey ninkii beesha xukumayey. Waxa rag badanoo wax garad ahi isku raaceen in ay dhaqanka Somalida ku ceeb tahay in la dilo nin 80 jir ah maadaama uu tabar gabay oo aanu Daarood gacantiisa dib ugu ciili dooni. Wadaad ka mida beesha ayaa laga soo weriyey inuu sheegay in maadaama Xuseen hadli karayo uu afkiisu hub ka daran yahay halkaasaana lagu dilay Xuseen Xasan oo dabadii rag badan daraaddiis aakhiro loo dawiyey.
Xuseen lama soo koobi karo inta uu col geliyey Ugaadeen ee beelo dhan uu oodaha u rogey oo waa kii gabay uu tirshey ay ku jirtey;
Weli caday Bah Cawlooy ma jebin cududahaagiiye
Intaan Caliyo Haaruun ka diley ciiddan way tahaye

He is reer Guleed There for Waad iska garan karta Dhulku daganyahay
He is a direct descended of Suldaan Guleed.
