Darood, the name Jaberti and genetic evidence
Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:35 pm
One interesting point about the recent kerfuffle over recent genetic testing pointing towards a native origin for Darood is that there is in fact a version of Darood's abtiris that puts Samaale as the father of Ibrahim (or al-Jaberti).
This raises an interesting point in that there is a son of Samaale, named Yaabur. Only one of Yaabur's sons is accounted for, that being Ali, who's son Hubeer is the epynomous ancestor of that branch of the Somali people.
Yaabur is obviously a different word from Jaberti But of course Y in the somali alphabet is not Y in english, Y corresponds with J in the English alphabet.
So in Arabic Yaabur becomes Jābur
But of course Jābur is a name, so for someone to be for instance the son of Jābur, he would be ibn al-Jāburi, however that is in the present tense, in the PAST tense, it would be ibn al-Jāburti. So if we were to say for instance "Isma'il, son of Ibrahim (formerly, past tense) called Yaabur" in Arabic that would be Isma'il ibn Ibrahim al-Jaburti.
We know already that the sons of Yaabur had Arabic names (Ali for instance), is it completely outside the realm of possibility that Yaabur became a Muslim, took the name Ibrahim, and Isma'il ibn Ibrahim is his son?
