Moreover, in exchange for his nomination, Marwan had financial andadministrative obligations to Ibn Bahdal, the Banu Kalb and the attending ashraf.
Meanwhile, Yazid died in 683 and Ibn Bahdal became the guardian of his young sons, Mu'awiya II, Khalid and'Abd Allah.
They belonged to the Kalb's princely house, known as the Banu Haritha ibn Janab,which gave Ibn Bahdal prestige and authority over his tribesmen.
Following Yazid's death,Ibn Bahdal served as the guardian of his son and successor, Mu'awiya II, until the latter's premature death in 684.

Hassan ibn Malik was a grandson of Bahdal ibn Unayf, chieftain of the Banu Kalb, one of the largest Bedouin tribes in 7th-century Arabia and Syria.
Ibn Bahdal fervently sought to maintain Umayyad rule, and by extension, the administrative and courtly privileges of his household and the Banu Kalb.
Amid the political instability and rebellions that ensued in the caliphate,Ibn Bahdal threw his support behind Marwan I, who hailed from a different branch of the Umayyads.
Ibn Bahdal and his tribal allies defeated Marwan's opponents at the Battle of Marj Rahit and secured for themselves the most prominent roles in the Umayyad administration and military.
Owing to the power of the Banu Kalb and his marital relations with the Sufyanids,Ibn Bahdal was appointed governor over Jund Filastin(Palestine District) and Jund al-Urdunn(Jordan District) by Mu'awiya I r.
Ibn Bahdal still favored Khalid ibn Yazid and presided over a meeting of the Umayyad family and the Syrian ashraf, excluding Ubayd Allah, to settle the matter of Mu'awiya II's succession.
Marwan died in April 685, less than a year after becoming caliph; however, before his death,he managed to oblige Ibn Bahdal to recognize his son Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan as successor to the Caliphate instead of Khalid ibn Yazid.
Ibn Bahdal favored anointing one of Yazid's young sons to succeed Mu'awiyah, while the governor of Kufa, Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, favored an Umayyad from a different branch of the ruling family, Marwan ibn al-Hakam.
Moreover, through his aunt,Maysun bint Bahdal, Ibn Bahdal was also a cousin of the Umayyad caliph Yazid I, which increased his influence with the ruling Umayyad dynasty.
Ibn Bahdal supported Mu'awiya's younger half brothers' claims to succession, though their youth generally precluded either of them from being accepted as caliphs by the ashraf(tribal nobility) of Syria and the governors of other provinces.

Later, Ibn Bahdal was among three of Bahdal's grandchildren who dominated the Umayyad political scene during the Sufyanid period; the Sufyanids were descendants of the Umayyad tribe's Abi Sufyan line, which ruled the Caliphate between 661 and 684.
Prior to the establishment of the Umayyad Caliphate in 661, Ibn Bahdal fought for a member of the dynasty and governor of Syria, Mu'awiya I, against the partisans of Caliph Ali at the Battle of Siffin in 657.
