Notes
- ^ In recounting the genealogy of the Walashma dynasty, Sihab ad-Din Ahmad states in his Futuh al-Habasa that Muhammad ibn Badley had two sons, one of whom might be the Habib he mentions soon after; the text is confusing here and the translation (Futuh al-Habasa: The conquest of Ethiopia, translated by Paul Lester Stenhouse with annotations by Richard Pankhurst [Hollywood: Tsehai, 2003], p. 7) does not offer any elucidation.
