ʽAbd ar-Rahman ibn Muhammad (died 16 June 1825) was the Emir of Harar (1821 - 1825).
However, while returning from an unsuccessful campaign to extract tribute from the Ala Oromo in 1825, he was betrayed to these people and imprisoned in Fedis which led to ʽAbd al-Karim seizing the throne.
In the end, ʽAbd ar-Rahman was deposed and forty villages are listed as having been destroyed by the Oromo to the north, west and south of Harar, as well as in Babille country during this civil war.
[2] According to Richard F. Burton, ʽAbd al-Karim had recruited 60 or 70 Arab matchlockmen, under one Haydar Assal the Auliki, to fight against the Oromo.
[2] One source states that he had one daughter, Gisti Fatima, who married his eventual successor Abu Bakr II ibn ʽAbd al-Munan.
