Historian Gamal Badawy mentions in his book “Looks on the History of Egypt” under the title “The Egyptian Judas” that Al-Helbawi, who was accused of throwing a bomb on Sultan Hussein in Alexandria in July 1915, was released among the guerrillas convicted in cases of political assassinations by decision of the People’s First Ministry headed by Saad Zaghloul.
Badawi explained in his aforementioned book, that although the Sultan escaped death, the flame of revenge did not die down. After only two months, the Sultan was in Alexandria on his way to perform Friday prayers, so a bomb was thrown at him from a window of one of the houses, but the bomb did not explode, and the policemen ran towards The house, so they discovered that the young man who had thrown the bomb was able to jump on the roofs of some neighboring houses, then went down the stairs and found some women chatting at the door of the house, so he greeted them, then went on his way confidently and calmly.

After several months of research and investigation, the authorities arrested nine young men whose names will shine in the assassinations of the English during the 1919 revolution, but the prosecution brought only two to trial: Muhammad Najib al-Helbawi and Muhammad Shams al-Din. The British military court sentenced them to death, but the Sultan He pleaded with the English to commute the sentence, and it was replaced with life imprisonment.
It seems that after his release, Helbawi decided to cooperate with the British. The day after his release, Helbawi went willingly and willingly to the British Intelligence building to put himself in the service of the occupation, and harnessed his previous experience and his abundant information about the commando actions to be under the command of the occupation authorities.
The author concluded his talk about the character of “Al-Helbawi” by saying: Whoever believes that one of these two brave young men will move from the camp of patriotism and redemption to the camp of treachery and treachery, and work as a guide and agent for the occupation authorities, then sells fellow jihadists at the lowest price until he delivers them to the gallows ropes, so he is like him.” Judas, the traitorous disciple who sold Christ to his enemies.
