Abū Bakr ibn Muḥammad (Template:Lang-ar), reigned 1525–1526, was a sultan of the Sultanate of Adal in the Horn of Africa. The historian Richard Pankhurst credits Abu Bakr with founding the city of Harar, which he made his military headquarters in 1520.

Reign

Abu Bakr organized Somali troops, then attacked the popular leader of Adal emir Garad Abun Adashe and killed him subsequently moving the capital of Adal Sultanate to Harar city. However, a power struggle with Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi would ensue, who eventually defeated Abu Bakr and killed him. The Imam then made Abu Bakr's younger brother, Umar Din, the new sultan, although the latter only reigned as a puppet king.
