We have some, even though most of the books are lost, but Sh. Is-haq left behind many books. I was told the military regime of Ziyad Barre which hated the Is-haqis confiscated almost all the books that were in the Sharif's shrine in Mait and destroyed them. I have the document (moshajarah ( المشجرة ), the family tree for the Sheikh witnessed by the imam of Yemen about over a hundred years ago.
So it's a legend but that is what we know and as you know we all memorize the nasab and it's important in Islam to memorize and keep your nasab. So people must stop writing things that they do not know anything about. If a stranger asks who is your father and you told them who is your they must accept that. They must not say to you, you are wrong but your father is so and so.
Some people they do this just because of hate. Why you hate the Is-haqis! What they did to you! Even in there meeting Djibouti where they created a new temporary government based on clans, they have to include the Is-haqis with the Dir, for mainly two reasons, first they don't want to exclude the Is-haq as the Is-haqis were not really participating in this conference but they thought if they include them into this setting, it will be considered a recognition of Somaliland, at the same they don't want them to give their full entitlement and status as a major clan represented in the parliament with 75 members. That will give a power to a group that basically has no base. So they have to come up with this idea of including them into the Dir. Now many people including non-Somalis who do not know the history, see the Is-haqis as a Dir clan. You can go back to history books and all the things written about people in present Somaliland and you will not find any thing associating the Is-haq to Dir. You will see the major clans or tribes in Somaliland in history books and government (British government) documents are Is-haq, Dir and Darood. You will find Issa and Gadabursi under Dir and Dhulbahante and Warsengeli under Darood, and Is-haq by itself.
