And he said to him, his son, "O Commander of the Faithful, how can we stay in a town where there is no one from the sons of...?". He said to him, Marwan, "O my cousin, be kind to them, and they will be like the sons of your father. Make your face cheerful, and their affection will be pure for you. And make each of their leaders your confidant, without anyone else, so that he may be an eye on the others and inform you about his people. And I have made your brother Bishr a trusted companion with you, and I have made Musa bin Nusayr your minister and advisor. And what is wrong with you, my son, being a ruler in the land? Is that not better than closing your door and bringing your family into your home?". Then he advised him when he left Egypt for Sham, saying: "I advise you to fear God in your secret and public affairs, for He is with those who fear Him and those who do good. And I advise you not to give any reason for the caller to God against you, for the caller calls to a duty that God has ordained. And pray, for prayer was a duty for the believers at appointed times. And I advise you not to promise people a promise unless you fulfill it, even if it is at the cost of your life. And I advise you not to hasten in anything until you consult, for if God had made anyone independent of that, He would have made His Prophet (peace be upon him) independent of it by the revelation that came to him."

He confirmed his brother Abd al-Aziz as governor of Egypt and began to implement his father's project. He sent armies to the regions of Iraq, Al-Jazira, and Al-Sham to consolidate his caliphate. In the end, he sent Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf to besiege Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr in Mecca for seven months. At the end of the year 73 AH, Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr was killed, and the caliphate belonged to Abd al-Malik. His death was the final end of that conflict, which had lasted for ten consecutive years, and the Islamic kingdom was contested by two caliphates, one in the East and the other in Mecca.

In the year 69 AH, Abd al-Aziz bin Marwan ordered the construction of a bridge over the Great Canal at the edge of Fustat, and he built a Nilometer in Helwan, which was the first of the two Nilometers built in Egypt. Some say that Amr bin Al-Aas built a Nilometer before that, but there is no evidence to support this claim. At the end of this caliph's reign, the palace known as the Golden House was built in the street of the Market of the Mam.
