Abu Bakr "the Slim" (Qaṭin) also known simply as Qaṭin sometimes spelt Qecchin or Katchthcen was a general in the Adal Sultanate under Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi. Abubaker's sobriquet "Qaṭin" is derived from the Harari term for "thin". According to sixteenth century Adal writer Arab Faqīh, he was the Garad of Hubat.
