 Meanwhile, Nuh had Chaghaniyan ravaged and its capital sacked.Another battle shortly ensured between Abu Ali and a Samanid army in Tukharistan, which resulted in a Samanid victory.Fortunately for Abu Ali, he managed to secure the support of other Samanid vassals, such as the rulers of Khuttal, and the Kumiji mountain people, and in the end made peace with Nuh, who allowed him to keep Chaghaniyan in return for sending his son Abu'l-Muzaffar Abdallah as hostage to Bukhara.
