Musa is the brother who carries the founder-ancestor's line beyond Darfur. In the charter legend the sons of Ahmad al-Maqur divide the inheritance: Kunjar remains and succeeds his father in Darfur, while Musa travels west and masters Wadai, in some tellings with the help of the Mahamid Arabs. His figure serves to knit the neighbouring Wadai sultanate into the same origin myth, a device by which two dynasties claim a common ancestral stranger. He carries no independent cult and only slight narrative of his own; the traditions vary over the geography of his conquest and over his place among al-Maqur's children.
