Muhammad Kasim granted them protection on their faithful promises, but put the soldiers to death, and took all their followers and dependants prisoners. All the captives, up to about thirty years of age, who were able to work, he made slaves, and put a price upon them. Muhammad Kasim called all the chief officers of Hajjaj together, and related the message to them, saying that ambassadors had come from Brahmanabad, and it should be heard what they had to say, and a proper answer should be carefully prepared and given to them.
