Muhammad ibn Badlay


Muhammad ibn Badlay was a Somali Sultan of the Sultanate of Adal. He was the son of Badlay ibn Sa'ad ad-Din.

Reign

The Arab writer al-Tagrebirdi reports that Sultan Muhammed sent an embassy to Cairo in 1452, which may have been an unsuccessful appeal for help against Ethiopia. In any case, Sultan Muhammad reversed the policy of his predecessors, making a truce with the Emperor of Ethiopia Baeda Maryam, and during his reign lived in peace with the Ethiopians.
