Question: What is the place of birth of Abd Al-Aziz Ibn Marwan's father?

Knowledge 1: Abd al-Aziz ibn Marwan
ʿ Abd al -ʿ Azīz ibn Marwān ibn al- Ḥakam( died 705) was the Umayyad governor and" de facto" viceroy of Egypt between 685 and his death.He was appointed by his father, Caliph Marwan I( r. 684–685).Abd al- Aziz's reign was marked by stability and prosperity, partly due to his close relations and reliance on the Arab military settlers of Fustat.Under his direction and supervision, an army led by Musa ibn Nusayr completed the Muslim conquest of North Africa.He was removed from the line of succession to the caliphal throne and, in any case, died before his brother, Caliph Abd al- Malik.However, one of Abd al- Aziz's sons, Umar II, would become caliph in 717–720. [SEP] Knowledge 2: Marwan I
Marwan ibn al- Hakam ibn Abi al- As ibn Umayya, commonly known as Marwan I( ca.623–626 – April/ May 685) was the fourth Umayyad caliph, ruling for less than a year in 684–685.He founded the Marwanid ruling house of the Umayyad dynasty, which replaced the Sufyanid house after its collapse in the Second Muslim Civil War and remained in power until 750.Marwan was the secretary and right hand of his cousin Caliph Uthman and was wounded fighting the rebel siege of Uthman's house, in which the caliph was slain.In revenge for his cousin's death, Marwan killed a leading companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, Talha ibn Ubayd Allah, whom he held culpable, during the Battle of the Camel in 656 when they both fought in the army of Muhammad's wife A'isha against Muhammad's cousin Caliph Ali.Marwan later served as governor of Medina under his distant kinsman Caliph Mu'awiya I, founder of the Umayyad Caliphate.During the reign of Mu'awiya's son and successor Yazid I, Marwan organized the defense of the Umayyad realm in the Hejaz( western Arabia) against the local opposition.After Yazid died in November 683, the Mecca- based rebel Abd Allah ibn al- Zubayr declared himself caliph and expelled Marwan, who took refuge in Syria, the center of Umayyad rule.With the death of the last Sufyanid caliph Mu'awiya II in 684, Marwan, encouraged by the ex-governor of Iraq Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, volunteered his candidacy for the caliphate during a summit of pro-Umayyad tribes in Jabiya.The tribal nobility, led by Ibn Bahdal of the Banu Kalb, elected Marwan and together they defeated the pro-Zubayrid Qays tribes at the Battle of Marj Rahit in August.In the months that followed, Marwan reasserted Umayyad rule over Egypt, Palestine and northern Syria, whose governors had defected to Ibn al- Zubayr's cause, while keeping the Qays in check in Upper Mesopotamia.He dispatched an expedition led by Ibn Ziyad to reconquer Zubayrid Iraq, but died while it was underway in the spring of 685.Before his death, Marwan firmly established his sons in positions of power:Abd al- Malik was designated his successor, Abd al- Aziz was made governor of Egypt and Muhammad oversaw military command in Upper Mesopotamia.Though Marwan was stigmatized as an outlaw and a father of tyrants in later anti-Umayyad tradition, the historian Clifford E. Bosworth asserts that the caliph was a shrewd, capable and decisive military leader and statesman who laid the foundations of continued Umayyad rule for a further sixty- five years.

Abd al- Aziz ibn al- Walid( died 728/ 9) was a member of the Umayyad dynasty and a military leader in the wars against the Byzantine Empire during the reign of his father, Caliph al- Walid I( reigned 705 –715).The latter also appointed Abd al- Aziz governor of Jund Dimashq( District of Damascus).Abd al- Aziz's mother was Umm al- Banin, a daughter of al- Walid's paternal uncle, Abd al- Aziz ibn Marwan.He was regarded by his father as" the" sayyid", the most forceful personality, amongst his sons".Abd al- Aziz led his first campaign against the Byzantines in Asia Minor in 709, when he captured a fortress, although his uncle Maslama ibn Abd al- Malik led the main raid of the year afterwards.In 710 he led the main Umayyad attack, although under the auspices of Maslama as commander- in- chief for the Byzantine front, and in 713 he led an attack against the frontier fortress of Gazelon.In 714/15, his father attempted to reverse the succession arrangement, by which the throne would pass to his brother Sulayman, in favour of Abd al- Aziz.In addition to various officials and poets in al- Walid's court, Abd al- Aziz gained the support of the powerful viceroy of the eastern half of the Caliphate, al- Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, who died in 714, the governor of Khurasan, Qutayba ibn Muslim, and a prominent Alid of Medina, Zayd, the son of Hasan ibn Ali.Nonetheless, he was unable to impose his will.When Sulayman in turn died in northern Syria in 717, Abd al- Aziz intended to claim the throne in Damascus, but upon learning that his maternal uncle Umar II had been chosen as caliph, he presented himself before him and acknowledged his rule.According to the account of al- Waqidi, during their encounter, Umar informed Abd al- Aziz that he would not have disputed his accession, to which Abd al- Aziz replied:" I would not like anyone else but you to have taken over the office".Abd al- Aziz died in Anno Hegirae 110( 728/729 CE).
