During his reign the Issa Musa would split and crown their own Sultan although continuing to recognize Abdulrahman as their ultimate authority of the Habr Awal. When the Eidagale attempted to raid the Issa Musa, a son of the Habr Yunis Sultan joined the raid and when the raiders were pursued he was killed. The Sultan of the Habr Yunis approached Abdulrahman to resolve the dispute and wanted him to compel the Issa Musa to pay mag for the Sultan's son.
