The Habr Garhajis also contemporarily known as the Garhajis (Somali: Habar Garxajis, Arabic: هبرغرحجس, Full Nasab: Al-Qādhī Ismā'īl ibn ash-Shaykh Isḥāq ibn Aḥmad[1]) is a major clan of the wider Isaaq clan family. They are the traditional holders of the Isaaq Sultanate and Habr Yunis Sultanate since the 18th century. As descendants of Ismail bin Sheikh Isaaq, its members form a part of the Habar Magaadle confederation, and they constitute the largest sub-clan of the Isaaq.[2][3][4][5] The Garhajis are divided into two major sub-clans: the Habr Yunis (Sa'īd Ismail) and Eidagale (Da'ud Isma'īl).[6][7] They are traditionally nomadic pastoralists, merchants and skilled poets.
