The Murusade (Somali: Murursade, Mursal; Arabic: مرسذه ,مرسل), commonly referred to as Mursal, are a Somali sub-clan belonging to the Karanle branch of the larger Hawiye clan family. They are primarily located in central Somalia, particularly in the regions of Galgaduud, Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, and the Banaadir.
Traditionally, the Mursal were nomadic pastoralists, coastal dwellers, merchants, and farmers. Historically regarded as an affluent and influential clan, they are recognized as among the earliest inhabitants of Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia.
