The book says that the assumption of Sultan Hussein Kamel on the throne of Egypt after the dismissal of Khedive Abbas Hilmi II, with the knowledge of the British, an order that the popular sects met with alienation and booing, especially after Britain announced protection on Egypt.

God is Abbas Jay neighborhood
Hit a Bomba in the head of the mayor

Sultan Hussein Kamel was narrated from many accounts, and it was said that he was hitting with Karbaj, and he was nervous, very angry.

It was said that his leg was alarmed, so they called him “forced fees” and he was famous in Cairo for treating fractures and other bones that were harmonious or terrified, which was called in that era the work of “the missionary”, meaning that forced the bones, so when the teacher entered a drawing on the Sultan, he wanted to provoke him until he was done Blood in his veins, and he directed exciting words to him, which made Sultan Hussein give from his bed to strike with the drawings from which he took place, so he was chasing him in the reaches of Abdin Palace.
