[Ahmed wins over the somali tribes]
When news of the imam leaving for the outlying provinces of abyssainia reached them, a certain person by the name of HIRABU, a chief of one of the somali tribes called MARRAIHAN, had arrived half way around the country of harar. After verifying the departure of the imam to the land of abyssinia, he doubled back and return to his country.
After this, the imam made preparation for jihaad against abyssinia, assembling his troops and the somalis with their leader, HIRABU, who then set out under his command. The imam then got together a vast throng and launched the attack, setting out, he and the muslims, for the infidal territory.
