Mān Singh, having been appointed governor of Kābul, had reached that city and had sent Muhammad Hakīm’s two young sons to Akbar. He had inflicted more than one defeat on the Raushanāīs on his way to Kābul, but they were neither crushed nor humbled, and towards the end of 1586 closed both of the roads between Kābul and the Indus and besieged Peshāwar. Akbar was now at Lahore, and Zain Khān was sent against the rebels, and with the help of Mān Singh compelled them to raise the siege, but they succeeded in forming a confederacy with the Afrīdīs, the Orakzāīs and the Yūsufzāīs, and kept the imperial troops in the field throughout the year 1587. It was not until the following year that the Afrīdīs and the Orakzāīs submitted and undertook to keep the Khyber Pass open. Jalāl-ud-dīn, the youthful leader of the Raushanāīs, lost his influence over his followers and fled to Balkh, and Zain Khān completed the subjugation of the Yūsufzāīs.
