Reign
Sabr ad-Din rallied his fellow Muslims in a counter-offensive in early 1332 against the Christian Abyssinians. However, the Emperor Amda Seyon I defeated him in battle, then invaded a number of Islamic kingdoms, including Dawaro and Bale. This brought an end to the independent kingdoms of Hadiya, Fatager, Dawaro and Ifat.[1]
Sabr ad-Din was captured with his ally, King Haydara of Dawaro, and the two were imprisoned together. The Emperor Amda Seyon appointed as his successor his brother, Jamal ad-Din I.[2]
