Yes he was, I think him and another dude whose name i forgot were the only two influential Somali salafi students of knowledge in the 19th century
Did salafis had a presence prior to 19th century?
No it was sufis and their tariqa was qadiris, salihis and shadilis
Shadiliyyah is the oldest known one from the times of Saad al din, the others im sure came after, qadiriyyah came in the 16th century, btw most Shadilis were asharis
for madhab it was hanafi then shaafi for most of history

No, Salafiyyah in general is a recent trend. The whole reason it exists is increased literacy+the decline of Muslims worldwide.
Saying salafism is a recent trend is an ignorant take my brudda

When do you think Salafism arose? 19th century and maaaaybe 16th century if we are willing to stretch the definition of Salafism to it's max.
Scholars used to refer to the salaf since day even scholars from the salaf like imam ash-shaf'i used to refer to the scholars before him

saying that abu lahab had tawheed but he had incomplete tawheed is an innovation outside sunnism.
The usage of the salaf by modern salafis is just a rhetorical strategy.
To understand modern salafism you should first understand historically there have always been reform movements in islam across the muslim world. But what makes salafism unique is that it emerges from a combination of wahabbism which is an extremely radical Saudi movement. Combined with eygptian reformist who were the actual first salafis and who with the emergence of printing in 19th century eygpt were able to rediscovere all the medieval Islamic texts which had been lost for hundred of years. So in a real sense there guys were the equivalent of Protestants who emerged with the printing press.
Global salafism emerged when a lot of these eygptian salafis who were in groups like the muslim brotherhood fled to saudi arabia and in the mid to late 20th century and taught at saudi universities.
Sayyid qutb was an eygptian for example.
Who said that?
Ikhwanis weren't salafis neither was sayid qutb mate
You realize that the founder of the Muslim brotherhood was Hassan Al bana who is a salafi right? And sayyid qutub was one of the fathers of salafi jihadism which is groups like al qaida or isis.
Also im not saying salafism is a bad thing since in a sense we all live in a post salafi world since a lot of the rural folk islam that existed had lots of weird and non Islamic beliefs that were destroyed by the sort of scientific worldview brought by salafism.
