* 'Abd al-Malik sent letters to commanders of Mus'ab b. Zubayr's army in Iraq and encouraged them to join him. As a result in the battle near the Tigris River in 72/691 'Abd al-Malik managed to defeat Mus'ab easier. Mus'ab was killed and his army was scattered over the place. Consequently Banu Zubayr were not able to stand against 'Abd al-Malik any more in [[Iraq]].

* 'Abd al-Malik also did not allow people of Syria to travel to [[Mecca]] to perform [[hajj]] rituals, as they were influenced by propaganda spread by Banu Zubayr. According to [[Al-Ya'qubi]]: "People complained about prohibition of performing hajj rituals, and 'Abd al-Malik replied, as Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri narrated from [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], you should go on a pilgrimage on three mosques, [[Masjid al-Haram]], [[Masjid al-Nabawi]] and [[Masjid al-Aqsa]]. Today Masjid al-Aqsa is equally important as Masjid al-Haram. [[Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri]] also narrated: "The rock were Jews sacrificed on, is rock were Prophet Muhammad (s) ascended to [[heaven]] in the night of [[Mi'raj]]." 'Abd al-Malik also ordered to build a dome on that rock and they provided curtains on it and assigned servants for the place. They told people to perform hajj rituals there, which continued in Umayyad era.

In addition, 'Abd al-Malik sent [[Hajjaj b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi]] to suppress [[Banu Zubayr]] and take control of [[Hijaz]]. Then Hajjaj set out for [[Ta'if]] with twelve thousand men to negotiate with [['Abd Allah b. Zubayr]], which led to failure as he disagreed with Hajjaj. Later, Hajjaj surrounded [[Mecca]] and he even damaged [[Ka'ba]] by throwing heavy rock by catapults.
