In Mali, Burkina Faso and Senegal for instance, people within just the Fulɓe cultural sphere, but who are not ethnically Fula, are referred to as yimɓe pulaaku ( , "people today of the Fula culture"). Abdullahi dan Fodio, brother of Shehu dan Fodio mentioned that Torankawa (Turubbi/Torobe) are part Fulani, and portion Arabs, they are Arabs by Uqba ibn Nafi who was an Arab Muslim of the Umayyad branch of the Quraysh, and that's why, a member of the spouse and children of the Prophet, Uqba ibn Nafi allegedly married a Fulani girl termed Bajjumangbu as a result of which the Torodbe family of Usman dan Fodio descended. Caliph Muhammed Bello creating in his book Infaq al-Mansur claimed descent from Prophet Muhammad via his paternal grandmother's lineage termed Hawwa(mother of Usman dan Fodio), Alhaji Muhammadu Junaidu, Wazirin Sokoto restated the promises of Shaykh Abdullahi bin Fodio in regard of the Danfodio household been part Arabs and aspect Fulani, even though Ahmadu Bello in his autobiography created following independence replicated Caliph's Muhammadu Bello assert of descent from the Arabs by Usman Danfodio's mom, using the historical account the family members of Shehu dan Fodio are partly Arabs and partly Fulani who culturally assimilated with the Hausas and can be explained as Hausa-Fulani Arabs.
