He led a combined Anglo-Egyptian force of 25,000 (one of whom was Subaltern Winston Churchill) up the Nile, shattered 40,000 dervishes and Fuzzy-Wuzzies at Omdurman, razed the Mahdi's tomb and regained the Sudan.

Fellaheen along the Nile streamed out of the fields, shouting that Naguib is the "Savior of Egypt, Savior of the Farmers, Gift of Allah."
