 Ibrahim, however, was unpopular with the people of Bukhara, and Nuh soon retaliated by retaking the city and blinding Ibrahim and two brothers.When the news of the re-capture of Bukhara arrived to Abu Ali, he once again marched towards Bukhara, but was defeated by an army sent by Nuh and withdrew back to Chaghaniyan.After some time, he left the region and tried to obtain support from other Samanid vassals.
