The Muse clan (Somali: Reer Sheekh Muuse) is a Somali clan. Group members live in Somaliland, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Yemen.
History
Muse was the father of the clan. He was an early follower of the prophet Mohammed. According to his progeny, Shaykh Muse arrived at the coastal land of Somaliland, Mitte, or Maydh. He came from Hadramaut, Yemen. It is believed that his grave is close to Sheikh Isaaq's tomb in Maydh.
It is believed that his biography was lost after his history had been disregarded. Today Shaykh Muse is reputed to be the ancestor of the clan named after him and who venerate him once every year. Sheikh Muse is among the Shaykhs who are venerated in Somaliland and professional shoemaker, haircut, and metalsmith groups also venerate him.
