The Salafī al-Nūr Party in the governorate of al-Fayoum precluded a fitnah that almost erupted between a Muslim landlord and a Christian tenant in the town of Sinnūris.

'Abd al-'Azīm 'Abd al-Hamīd and his sons sought last week to terminate the contract of Dāwūd 'Azmī Fahmī and have him out of his apartment in which he lived for tens of years but the latter refused.

Fahmī sought the help Shaykh Muhammad Ibrāhīm Abū Sa'ādah, the secretary of al-Nūr Party in Sinnūris, after the landlord and his sons, armed with machine-guns, brought a bulldozer and demolished Fahmī's house fence and two rooms.

In an 'urfī (informal) reconciliatory session, the arbitrators decided to charge the Muslim landlord the sum of LE350,000, forcing him to re-build the fence and two rooms he demolished and continuity of the Christian tenant in his place based on the terms of the contract concluded between the two parties.

The Christian man waived the compensation money and later on the two of them hugged one another and agreed to live peacefully together.
