The Battle of Das was fought in 1332 between the Ethiopian Empire under the command of Emperor Amda Seyon and a large Muslim coalition led by Salih.
[2] According to the chronicler, the Imam of Adal, Salih would assemble a large Muslim army made up of 12,048 warriors from various regions such as Gidaya, Hubat and Hargaya and form an alliance with Ifat sultan, Jamal ad-Din, who was a vassal king of Amda Seyon.
According to the chronicler, most of the Ethiopian army left the camp to put down a revolt of the Beta Israel and the Emperor had with him only 2,722 men.
Zana Yamanu, the chief of the pages, was hunting when he encountered the massive Muslim army, he then warned the king who got out of bed and mounted on his horse.
Then the three sons and the brother of the king of Adal came, and laying their sandals on their heads, they tendered their submission, did homage to 'Amda Seyon and begged for mercy.
