 During the [[caliphate]] of [['Abd al-Malik b. Marwan]], al-Hajjaj was appointed as the head of [[Aban b. Marwan]]'s police, and the agent of the caliph in [[Palestine]]. He then became a member of Rawh b. Zanba' al-Judhami's police, the caliph's minister and his closest companions, and the organizer of his army. Al-Hajjaj was very serious in his job which made him more respectable by 'Abd al-Malik. After a while, the caliph appointed him as the first ruler of a new town, called Tibala, but when al-Hajjaj approached Tibala and found it small and insignificant, he returned to 'Abd al-Malik and excused himself from ruling such a small town.
