Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr

Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr was a grandson of Ali ibn Haditha, of the Al Ali branch of the Al Fadl, the Bedouin house that held the office of amir al-ʿarab under the Mamluks. In 1279 Sultan Qalawun punished Isa ibn Muhanna for joining a revolt and named Muhammad in his place, though only nominal.

In 1293 al-Ashraf Khalil imprisoned Muhanna in Cairo, and Muhammad led the Bedouin until Muhanna was restored in 1295. He received the post again in 1320, when an-Nasir Muhammad banished Muhanna.
