I only posted it to show there are many diverse references to Barbaria.
At this point it probably isn't Somalis only but cushitic people along North-East Africa
There are other allusions too some of their sources say Nabi Sulayman got his gold from Somalia
It makes more sense to refer it to northern Africa Barbaria or somewhere on NE Africa rather than Somalia's Barbaria
That said I'm convinced that several of the Bani Israel prophets travelled through Somalia. Even the cattle mentioned specifically includes the Somali Black headed goat
What goat?
Sheep sorry
Are you talking about the Syrian goat? It has black head and white body, and it looks weird.
You don't know that to be a fact there is no evidence against it but there is some circumstantial evidence in favour.
like?
Somali sheep

It seems like some of their sources say that IIRC and there are some local stories that sound like it like a legend of the grave of Nabi Sulayman's hoopoe mentioned in the Qur'an being in Sanaag. It wouldn't be very difficult it was a global trade centre and visited by many peoples then

This is pretty robust at this point. We have many separate sources that correspond.
