Abu-’l-Hasan, the last of the Qutb Shāhs, left his throne with calmness and dignity. When Rūh-ullah Khān entered his palace to seize him, he bade his captors to breakfast with him, consoled his women and servants, and left for the Mughul camp. In the evening he was presented by A‘zam to the emperor, who read him a long lecture “on his corrupt government, wherein he had been very unfaithful in the charge he had committed to him, in encouraging the Brāhmans and discouraging the Moors, to the dishonour of their religion and country, whereby he had justly brought these troubles upon himself". After a time he was sent off to the prison-fortress of Daulatābād with an allowance of 50,000 rupees a year.
