According to the Adari, Abadir lived around the year 1000, and succeeded Amir Hoboba.
Mind you the list of Amirs for Harar I have seen is a bit messed up, I will point out the issues from Haboba to Umar Walashma, then I'll take this list all the way to Sabr ad-Din II.![]()
The person who compiled this list uses the Ethiopian year 1 (in Ethiopia it is 2002 right now), so dates are all short by 7 years, I'll put the corrected dates in parentheses. Some dates don't agree with the Adal Chronicle and I put those in bold instead of the parentheses.
Haboba 969-999 (976-1006) JD's Note: I have seen Haboba written as "Haboba ibn Harar"
Abadir I 999-1013 (1006-1019)
Omerdin 1013-1025 (1020-1032)
Nasir 1025-1027 (1032-1034)
Nesroy 1027-1029 (1034-1036)
Nasir Bin Jamaludin 1029-1030 (1036-1037)
Muhuyadin 1030-1057 (1037-1064) JD's Note: Queen Badit daughter of Maya died in 1063, noted in the Chronicle of Shoa. Who is she? Who know!
Abadir II 1057-1058 (1064-1065)
Abdal (Adal) 1058-1077 (1065-1084) JD's Note: Adaacal or Adal is traditionally considered to be a son of Xadhal-Maaxe (often written as Haral Mahis) the patriarch of the southern Afars or Adel Qaafars.
Maya Lamar 1077-1096 (1084-1103)
Tadina 1096-1100 (1103-1107)
Omer Bin Dinyah Hurr 1100-1170 (1107-1177) Umar ibn Dunyahuz IS Umar Walashma, plus a century too early, so this is wrong According to the Chronicle of Shoa this is the time of Sultan Harba'ir, and on the 16th of December 1108 the "Gbbah" people became Muslims. Some people think this says "Argobba" but I think it says "Gubba" as in the Jubba river.
Yaruwi (haruwi) 1170-1180 (1177-1187)
Haqudin Bin Omar 1180-1187 (1187-1194) Haqq ad-Din Nasrawi ibn Umar, placed 120 years too early in the chronology and duplicated so this is wrong
Hassen (Hussen) 1187-1192 (1194-1199)
Abdulahi 1192-1204 (1199-1211)
Wali-Asma 1204-1281 (1211-1288) Umar ibn Dunyahuz IS Umar Walashma, but his reign is not only absurdly long but incorrect, should be 1275-1288
Baziye 1281-1297 (1288-1304) Sultan Baziwi (or Burfawe)
Nesrudin 1297-1302 (1304-1309) Sultan Haqq ad-Din Nasrawi ibn Umar
Mensur Bin Bedewi 1302-1307 (1309-1314) Sultan Mansur I ibn Baziwi
Jemaludin 1307-1314 (1314-1321) Sultan Jamal ud-din I
Abit (Sabit) 1314-1316 (1321-1323) Sultan Abud
Zuber 1316-1318 (1323-1325) Sultan Zubair
Matatlil 1318-1321 (1325-1328) Sultan Ma'at Layla
Khayrudin 1321-1326 (1328-1333) Sultan Sabir ud-din I Muhammad Walkhui
Faza Ali 1326-1366 (1333-1374) Sultan 'Ali ibn Sabir ud-din
Harb Arad 1366-1368 (1374-1376) Sultan Ahmed Harbi Ar'ed ibn 'Ali
Haqudin Bin Harb 1368-1378 (1376 - 1386) Sultan Haq ud-din II ibn Ahmed, Sultan of Adal
Sabrudin I 1378-1383 ??? Error?
Sadudin 1383-1402 (1386 - 1415) Sultan Sa'ad ud-din Ahmed
Sabrudin Sadudin 1402-1411 (1416 - 1421) Sultan Sabir ud-din II ibn Sa'ad ud-din

Abadir sxb means Abaha Dir and Dir translates into Somali in the eponymous sense so Abadir means Abaha Soomaali.
This makes sense
