	Five of his children, including his eldest son al-Asbagh, were bore by slave women. According to the Egyptian historian al-Kindi (d. 961), Abd al-Aziz appointed al-Asbagh as a temporary governor of Alexandria and, during his visit to Syria in 695, as his placeholder over the whole of Egypt. Other sons of Abd al-Aziz from his slave women included Zabban and Juzayya. Ibn Abd al-Hakam notes a third slave woman, of Greek or Coptic origin, named Maria, with whom Abd al-Aziz had a son named Muhammad. In honor of Maria, Abd al-Aziz built a palace in Fustat called Qasr Mariya (Maria's Palace).
