When the news of this victory was carried to Muhammad Kasim, he was much delighted. As for giving pardon to the residents of Siwistan about which Maasab had written to him, Muhammad Kasim said :—"It would have been better not to have spared them. Now, you must appoint honest and trustworthy men and try your best to protect the fort. Take good hostages from the priests and merchants and other notables. Bring along with you 4,000 warlike men from Siwistan.” Following this behest, Maasab son of Abdurrahman, after appointing officers and confidential agents and taking 4,000 armed men with him, arrived in the Arab camp, and that same day Mokah Basayeh joined Muhammad Kasim opposite the fort of Bet.
