Main article: Somali clan

Darod (Somali language: Darood, or Daarood) is a Somali clan. The Arabic name of the Darod clan is Banu Dawud (بانو داوود). In the Somali language, the word Daarood means "an enclosed compound," compounding the two words daar (compound) and ood (place enclosed by wall, trees, woods, fence, etc). In Persian, it means blessing or the search for divine blessing. The Darod was founded by a missionary Sheikh of the Qadiriyyah Order named Abdirahman Is'mail Al Jaberti or known by his Somali nickname Daarood.[citation needed]

The Darod tribe (or the Banu Dawud) claim to be descendants of Muhammad ibn Aqil, the son of Aqeel ibn Abu Talib. Aqeel ibn Abu Talib was second of four sons of Abu Talib ibn ‘Abdu’l-Muttalib, who was the uncle and protector of prophet Muhammad, head of the Banu Hashim. They have a strong tribal relationship with the other Hashemites.
