As a result of this serious injury, he was captured by the tsarist troops, although he was rescued by Shamil's murids, who attacked the convoy that was transporting Baysungur to the fortress of Grozny.
In June of the same year Boyshar's men defeated Russian forces led by General Musa Kundukhov near the town Fachu.
Boyshar's zeal and courage was noted by Imam Shamil in the diary of his bailiff Colonel A. I. Runovsky:[7] After a good dinner, when the younger members of the imam's large family left the dining room, the eldest of Shamil's sons, Gazi-Muhammad, who had recently returned from Temir-Khan-Shura, began to tell the latest news from the Caucasus.
At the end of the conversation, Gazi-Muhammad mentioned a small episode related to the indomitable Chechen naib Boyshar from Benoi, who, even after the surrender of Imam Shamil, did not stop resistance and did not lay down his arms, continuing the fight along with his other brothers in arms, now former Chechen naibs of Shamil — Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev.
In response to a tempting offer to save his life, the one-eyed, one-armed and one-legged sixty-six-year-old warrior pointed to the nearest graves in the cemetery and said with a grin: "Talk to them about your case - they will hear you better than me."
With assistance from Musa Kundukhov, Nikolai Kolovachyov and Artsu Chermoyev, the Russian Army started to round up around the village of Belgatoy thanks for earlier intelligence information of Boyshar's location.
