All anthropologists agree that it's not the modern day Hawiye who originally come from Mudug that was mentioned, rather its a group who are part of Digil/Raxanweyne.
Yet "hawiya" was said specifically?
If where talking chronoligcly Ahmed "Hawiye" irir came to Somalia with his brother Aji (Dir) and his father Irir, theyre landing region was around the Awdal region to spread islam, the hawiye clan settelde in the north for a while Before expanding to the galbeed and followed the Fertile lands

So? It's Digil/Raxanweyne. Hawiye lived in the North and were historically part of Adal. After it collapsed 500 years ago, they moved to the central regions. Even today, the Hawiye live next to Harar in a region called Babile, but they've been assimilated by Oromos.
Sultanate of Mogadishu? Which happend around the 11th it was especially said the rulers where from the hiiraab clan.
Who ever says the raxenweyn is Hawiye? Hawiya was said specifically which is proof enough

Taking random quotes from 800 years ago and interpreting it how you like is not the way you do things. Anthropologists have stated that there was a pre-Hawiye group that was much larger with more clans. As for the 'Hawiya' living in Lower Shabelle, they're part of Digil/Raxanweyne confederation and are not related to the modern day Hawiye.

Please bring forth your proof.
Who's interpreting anything though? When Hawiya is said specifically, how can you claim that it actually meant raxenweyn? Two Arabs said this, one being a cartographer and the other being a geographer.
Hawiye is very old, much older than Darod or Isaaq, and Dir is even older than Hawiye. This is why at the higher levels genealogy abtirsi breaks down among the Hawiye. Hawiye subclans have real abtirsi, but anything above that is subject to political manipulation.
Going by abtirsi, Hawiye is a tiny minority in Hiraan, but politically speaking no one will take you seriously if you said that.

True. Hawiye is one of the oldest Somali tribes alongside Dir. It is obvious they have been in the south for longtime compared to
others so we can't say they magically came from the north when there is not much evidence to that.

Stop pulling things out of your ass.Hawiye have nothing to do with Adal.
The only clans mentioned in Futuh were Habar Magaadle(Habar Awal and Garxajis forces combined),Marexaan,Gerri and Dir.The rest of the Somalis including your precious Harti and your Habar Habusheed neighbours(i.e. Habar Jeclo) were not even mentioned.Hawiye have no recorded history of belonging in the North and these myths of tombs of their ancestors residing in SL is nothing more then a recent fabrication
Sultante of Mogadishu was ruled by The Yacuub (abgaal) dynasty and Fakr din which have direct patrilleanal with the them.
"
At this moment the companions of the imam screamed out, saying, ‘The infidels have tricked us; they are after the livestock,’ whereupon the imam split his forces into two divisions: one he entrusted to Garad Ahmusa, composed of the Somali spearmen of the Marraihan, the Gorgorah and the Hawiya; around one-thousand of them from among the most famous spearmen. And from the soldiers bearing shields, the same number."

Fake.
I have read the book in Arabic and this was no where to be found.
The source of this fake shit was some Hawiye propaganda site from 2009

All four Koombe subclans (Geri, Harti, Jiraan, Xarla) were in the Fatah. As were the Bartire and Yabarre of the Jidwaq and perhaps the largest Somali contingent, the Marehan.
The Reer Garaad of the Geri Koombe are the direct descendants of the Imaam's family. Garaad Mataan Othman Khalid married the sister of the Imaam. Imaam Nur ibn Mujahid, Ina Nuur Marehan, married the widow of the Imaam. The only Somali clans with documented lineal connections to the Imaan are the Reer Garaad of the Geri and the Ina Nuur of the Marehan.
This old man is the Garaad of the Geri Koombe, the Imaam is probably his 16th great uncle.

Imam aint even Somali let alone some Jeberti.f*ck outta here with your nonsense warya
Imam Axmed ethnic origins were not mentioned once although I do believe he was probably an Ethio-Semite specifically Harla but the Geri's leader was indeed the Imam's closest friend due to his extreme piety and dedication to the cause.Mareexan on the other hand was the Somali clan most despised by the Imam due to their leader with a strange Habesha name who beheaded his messenger.
Do you know what was the Imam's response to this extremely disrespectful act? He asked the puppet sultaan(from the Walashma dynasty) if he can behead this "treacherous Somali"
The nigga's name was Hiraabu Theodoros ben Adam
He did not even like Habar Magaadle due to raiding the trade routes toward the coast which were vital for Adal's income and in turn their survival as a political entity.But after punishing us we were still the first to arrive to join the Imam who praised our skills as bravehearts and warriors as he was extremely pleased to see our 200 horsemen and 2000 footsoldiers
We even have a subclan of SM called Makaahil whose mother was some kind of Abysinnian noble woman that was captured as a concubine during the wars
