Reign
Abu Bakr organized Somali troops, then attacked Sultan Garad Abun ibn Adash of Adal and killed him, making himself sultan. However, his control over Adal was disputed by Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi, who eventually defeated Abu Bakr and killed him. The Imam then made Abu Bakr's brother, Umar Din, sultan.
