The story of Donbiro Dir is well known, however, the present day Dir challenge this story since Donbiro a daughter of Dir would have lived thousands of years ago. The Darod claims to marry Donbiro between 11th century and 13th century - which cannot be accurate since the Dir are of great antiqiuty. The Dir are mention in Abyssinian chronciles of fighting under Sabr ad-Din against Abyssinia. Idiris in 1150 AD mentions the Hawiya as inhabiting Hafun and this indicates that the Darod had not formed yet. The story of a man found in a tree is common amongst many people in the Horn of Africa - the eponymous ancestor of the Ajuran was found in a tree and marries Hawiya's granddaughter - something which is inaccurate, again since Hawiya lived thousands of years ago. Also the Oromo have many stories of ancestors being found in a tree - a common way of explaining the adoption of new people. There is no eveidence for an Arab origin, something invented later and adopted by the colonial authroities. Dombiro was the daughter of the [[Dir (clan)|Dir]] clan chief.<ref>Mandelli, Alfonso.

Dombiro is buried just outside the ancient town of [[Haylaan]] in the [[Sanaag]] region of [[Somalia]], where Sheikh Darod's tomb is located.

The Dir contest this version and cannot support it since Donbiro Dir lived during a completely diferent period; thousands of years ago. The origin of the Darod is more likely to be explained by the adoption of various groups who formed a gashanbur or collective; and as their numbers grew, they migrated and continued to absorb new elemnents. Evidence of this comes from the clan names found amongst the Darod such as Adbwak, Jidwak, etc. indicating a close connection with Cushitic roots.
