They broke into houses, but only caught Aguiran's two wives. After interrogation, Aguiran's wife said that Aguiran might go home from Masmark Castle after the morning ceremony the next morning. Ibn Saud decided to wait.

As time went on, Ibn Saud and others became more and more nervous. They knew the situation was dangerous. Early in the morning, Aguiran finally appeared, with only a small group of guards. Ibn Saud shouted and jumped up with the people. Aguiran panicked and ran away. Just as he was about to escape into the castle, he was hacked to death by Ibn Saud's cousin Abdullah bin Jaruwe.

This day became the cornerstone of modern Saudi Arabia.

The place where he attacked over the wall has become a famous tourist attraction in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today.
