Conquest of Bidar
He invaded Kasim-Barid of Bidar. Later Kasmim Barid with the Muslim kings of Ahmednagar, Golconda and Berar invaded Bijapur, however Ismail Adil Shah was able to defend himself and his territory. In this battle Mahmud Shah of Bidar and his son Ahmed were taken as prisoners.
Bibi Sali, the sister of Ismail Adil Shah was married to Ahmed Shah of Ahmednagar and thus the hostilities were converted to friendship.
Ismail ruled peacefully only before waging a war against Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar, who did not aid Ashad Khan during his conquest against Timraj of Vijayanagar. Nizam Shah was unhappy because he was promised the fort of Sholapur as dowry when he married Ismail's sister Mariam, which was never handed over. Nizam Shah later tried to take Sholapur by force. However he had to taste failure when Ismail marched and captured forty elephants.
