In reward for his accomplishment, Abd al-Malik appointed Sulayman the head of Syria's fiscal administration, a post he held through the reigns of the caliph's sons and successors al-Walid I and Sulayman.[1] After about one year into his reign, in 718/19, Caliph Umar II dismissed Sulayman for unknown reasons.[2] He was reappointed by Caliph Yazid II and was apparently kept in the post until Yazid's death in 724, after which there is no further mention of Sulayman.[2] His eldest son, Thabit, is briefly mentioned in 744 as holding an official post,[2] the secretary of official correspondences under Caliph Yazid III,[12] and had previously sheltered Yazid III in his Damascus residence during his rebellion against his predecessor, al-Walid II.[13] In the aftermath of the Umayyad dynasty's downfall in 750, Sulayman's family disappears from the historical record.[2]
