Husain ‘Alī was already preparing to march to the Deccan when camel-riders, on 27 August, brought to Āgra the news of ‘Ālim ‘Alī’s defeat and death. The Sayyid brothers were overwhelmed with grief and consternation and could determine on no course of action. At length it was decided that the emperor should march with Sayyid Husain ‘Alī Khān to the Deccan and that Sayyid ‘Abdullah Khān should administer from Delhi the northern provinces of the empire.
