What a great discovery, this is what we've been looking for. Now that we know about the existence of a zayla'i sheikh in the 9th century we can expect to find more. It's yet another evidence further proving the early adoption of islam in the somali peninsula. I suspect we might find even older reference of zayla'i scholars if we keep looking.
