Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad (reigned 1525 - 1526) was a sultan of Adal. Pankhurst credits Abu Bakr with founding the city of Harar, which he made his military headquarters in 1520.
Abu Bakr collected a band of Somali brigands, 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.
