The father was sitting on an old beech bench in his living room, facing the clock, with his huge clock, watching the scorpions move slowly from left to right.
Abdul Aziz Ibrahim Effendi, one of the most famous merchants of the aesthetic district, overcame his concern.The birth of his wife seems difficult and there is a danger to his life and that of the fetus. There, I surprised her and came out of the woman's room, then I told her without reason to think: a doctor must come because the situation has become critical.
The customs of the time did not accept that the wife was exposed to a male doctor, but the women had agreed to persuade the head of the family to have them come if the birth was difficult.
Naguib Mahfouz Pasha came home quickly to try to save the mother and his son .. and succeeded his mission. The last child of Abdel Aziz Effendi came to this world and the father did not find it better than the name of Naguib Mahfouz to release him on his son after the doctor who saved his son and his wife.

From the beginning of his childhood, Najib Mahfouz was associated with football. Coincidence alone is one of the leaders of this worship that was associated with him at a young age.
One day, his brother took him to visit a friend of the Diwani family, whose house overlooked the station, where he would attend the first football match of his life.
Mahfouz tells the beginning of his attachment to the game in the book "Pages of Naguib's Memoirs" by Raja Al-Nokh, in which he recorded more than 50 hours with Mahfouz with his famous "Ali Baba", which he had passed on Tahrir Square.
"You might not think I was a football captain one day. My love lasted for about 10 consecutive years, during my elementary and high school studies. He took me only literature, and if I still practiced, she might have become a star of her most prominent stars"He said.
"My relationship with the balloon goes back to the period when we moved to Abbasiyah. I was then enrolled in primary school. My brother took me one day to a close friend of the Diwani family. "
"This friend's house was overlooking a train station and at the end of lunch he offered to accompany him to watch a football match between an Egyptian team and another English team."He said.
"What was my big surprise when the Egyptian team won, I think the English are not defeated even in the sport. I went home that day and all my mind was hanging over football and the names of the Egyptian team that defeated the English, especially the team leader Hussein Hijazi, the famous star of the moment at the time."He said.
"I asked my dad to buy me a ball and I pressed him until he agreed, and I started spending a lot of time in the courtyard. I played the ball alone trying to imitate what I had seen in this game that had abandoned the mind so quickly that I could master it. the basic principles of the game"He said.
"Then I joined Teamball at the elementary school, the junior team and there was another adult team. At the time, primary school did not have a specific age. I found children aged eight and nine and young people over 20 with big mustaches. "
Among the members of the senior team was Captain Mamdouh Mokhtar, who was playing for Al-Ahly, a member of the Saqr family, better known as Abdelkrim Saqr and Yehia Saqr."He said.
"At Tempel, I played in the center of the attack, especially on the left, and although I do not know how to play the left foot, this center was very limited, but I was the goal of the team. When I moved to Fuad, I changed to high school and I became a heart of defense."He said.
"I was so successful in the new center that many of those who saw me at the time predicted a bright future for football and that I would play in one of the big clubs, including the Olympics. with the national team."He said.
"From here, my colleagues were surprised when we moved to the university and refused to join the university football team. Since then, I lost contact with football during training and then from the point of view of the loss after the retirement of Hussein Hijazi."He said.
Mahfouz has great and admirable admiration for Hissain Hijazi, the Egyptian star and clubs Al Ahli and Zamalek, who established the first rules of professionalism in Egypt, the first to move between the two poles of Cairo in addition to being one of the first professionals abroad.
Mahfouz talks about his memories with this player:Hussein Hijazi, it's a fact that I saw and a legend that I heard about, I saw him at the end of his football career before retirement, and because of his great popularity, the game is on the outskirts of midlife, a great age for ball players,"He said.
"Even at this advanced age, he had weight in the stadium, and in the moments I saw him, I appreciated certain features, including the fact that the Maestro's role for his team and the best game and that the game own did not occur deliberately against the player of the opposing team, so much so that he often paid the midfielder and went into the ball"He said.
"That's what I saw with my eyes, but what I heard is closer to mythology and I do not know how healthy it is, that's just part of that story happened in England and the other at a time when I did not see it. Become one of his most famous stars, he was spoken by English newspapers, which would have modified the English laws to become captain."He said.
"It was also said that the King of Spain had so much attended the match between England and Spain and at Bahra Hejazi's performance that after the match, he wished to shake hands and said: I would like to be Spanish and play for our team. Then, he returned to Egypt and joined our national team and participated with him at the 1929 Olympic Games. He then participated in the 1929 Olympic Games. Fourth place if memory is not forgotten"He said.
"Hegazi was the star of the team and was congratulated by European newspapers and distinguished him with praise and money, a title we previously called players named Salim, namely Mohammed and Ahmed Salem. I remember that Mr. Wolf, our high school English teacher, came into the classroom with the Times newspaper and read to us what I had written about the Egyptian team at the Games Olympic."He said.
The memory of Mahfouz did not stop at the time of Hussein Hijazi, but also extended to many other players, street players and clubs.
He remembers the period of his adolescence "In addition to Hijazi, one of the youngest in Bulaq, there was Ali al Hassani, who played the role of the heart of the defense and who was distinguished by his vigor and style of violent play, although Mar & # He was the most violent guardian."He said.
"Marai looked so much like a giant that he was blocking the balloon with one hand and grabbing it while he was taking orange until the ball landed in his hand and he do not move."He said.
"In addition to these were Jamil al-Zubayr, Sayyed Abaza, Mahmud Mukhtar al-Tatch, Mamdouh Mokhtar and Muhammad Suleiman, whom we called "Hindenburg"."He said.
In his novel "Mirrors", published in 1971, Mahfouz painted a literary portrait of some of the characters that he lived in his reality and that appears in his novel, whose actor Ali Hassani was the only one of his kind. one of the characters.
"In the mirrors, I pointed to al-Hassani and, after publishing it, he surprised me to call to thank me for reminding him. His voice was weak and weak, and I knew the illness was exhausted and that he was not leaving his bed, and I was surprised by the situation that this giant had arrived at."He said.
"If Hijazi was captain of the Egyptian team, I was captain of the "Lion Heart" team that I trained with my friends at Abbasiya during my studies. It was based in the streets of Abbasiyah, and we were hosting teams from other neighborhoods in intense parts, and we will play the same way on their country. When I took literature and took myself to read and write, I did not continue to follow and watch the new generations."He said.
"I did not know them except Abdelkrim Saqr, who assured me of my friend Abdel Moneim Shuwaikh that he was a great player who did not produce Egyptian stages like him, and that it was in the years after Hijazi's retirement."He said.
"I remember that one of the journalists had organized a joint meeting in front of the star of Mahmoud Al-Khatib, celebrity star and popular conversation. I did not want to tell him that I had stopped following the match and that my relationship had ended with Hijazi's retirement."He said.
"Sometimes I turn on the television and find the ball games. The old nostalgia takes me to the game. I'm watching the World Cup. I keep watching a game without knowing both teams. I've noticed that stars are now richer than movie stars."He said.
"Thus, Ali al-Hassani has not yet found to withdraw the price of drugs and has been exercised by the player as a hobby while he has another job to gain, and that he was not dedicated to children only, as Hussein Hijazi is the son of a dignitary.
"During my work at the ministry of Awqaf, I remember that a young man had introduced me as the son of Hussein Hijazi, I shook him very hard and I told him said: Come to Abu Bakk .."He said.
Mahfouz wondered why people were interested in gambling when political issues were at the center of his concerns in his day. As far as fanaticism is concerned, he said he had been there for a long time and that it was not just a phenomenon that had recently spread.
He says in his sequel on the game and its links with it, when reading many memories past and present: "I have noticed the terrible proliferation of football, and perhaps the reference to this radio, this television and these newspapers that have become the uniqueness of the big spaces of the balloon (the pre-era means of communication and websites) ".
"Nowadays, political concerns have attracted less interest than fanaticism which they now complain about club supporters, but also matches between the teams of Cairo and Alexandria."He said.
"In matches where the Cairo teams went to play in the breach, Alexandria was turned into a military barracks and the emergency situation was declared in anticipation of the mass riots."He said.
Adham Rajab, a friend of Mahfouz al-Maqrab, conducted a dialogue in February 1970 in a number attributed to the magazine "Crescent" Mahfouz.
Rajab said that Mahfouz in his childhood "He was a rare football player at the beginning of Abbasid. He was an interlocutor and a football player. If Husayn Hijazi and Tch were to continue, Abdul Karim Sakr,"He said.
"It was like a shotgun and it suited the balloon at the age of our youth: in our youth, the spirit of the player was between his feet, and the powerful player was the only player to To be lifted like a ball towards the goal"He said.
In his writings, the balloon does not take a separate path from the childhood in which he lived and was associated with the round piece of skin.
We find it in novels such as "The Mirrors", "Whispers of Madness" and "Miramar", which show some of the memories and thoughts that cross it about the game.
What is reviewed by the writer Mustafa Bayoumi in his book "Football in Egyptian literature, social and political certificate"He said.
And refers to what Mahfouz wrote in the novel "mirrors": "I saw the English playing, and I thought they were killing, and I wanted to see Ali al-Hassani while he was holding them together and tossing them to the ground, so that There is no bloody battle. I was happy and happy and I started to love a new hobby. And believed that it was possible to beat English even at Ahli club"He said.
Badr Zayadi, a light student, is also at the center of the attack against the school team and the school's baseball players have been respected.
In the novel, Zeidi is killed in a protest against the British occupation and the dictatorship of King Fouad. Bader Zayadi will be mentioned in the chapter "Eid Mansour" where he stated "The day of the murder .. did not hide his satisfaction from the lack of ground of his rival to the chairmanship of the ball team"He said.
In the narrative group "Madness of Madness" – especially in the history of "Crossroads" – Jalal, staff member of the Ministry of Education, remembers his classmate Hamed Pasha Shamil, become minister.
Jalal surpassed Hamed, but Al-Hayat was neither fair nor efficient and poverty kept Jalal at the bottom of the hierarchy. Hamed was armed with his class origins..
In the novel Miramar, which has been transformed into a film of the same name, Mahfouz reviews some of the changes that occurred after July 52.
In one of his paragraphs, retired journalist Amer Jagdi, a member of the Senate, cries out:O bastards, you, Loutonites, not the dignity of a man with you, if not a ball player!"He said.
