A rare man I have never seen in my life until now, and he is a respected example of the liberation revolutionaries I know.

When I sat in at Tahrir Square during the Mohamed Mahmoud events in 2011, this man sent me new clothes as if he knew my condition, as my circumstances at the time did not allow my family to send me anything.

He was always asking about me from afar, and when I asked about him, no one would mention his name to me upon his request.

When I got out of prison, he never bragged about what he had done for me. I learned his name by chance through one of the revolutionaries when she told me that a man had asked about me. I asked her who this man was, and then I knew who he was and spoke to him on the phone.

I found this man constantly defending me on the revolutionaries’ pages, and I would come across his comments by chance, defending me, and he did not believe any rumors about me, even though he had never seen me before.

I couldn't give this man my books as a gift like the rest of the revolutionaries who stood by me, but I gave him a gift of a different kind. I donated the clothes he sent me when I was protesting in Tahrir Square to the Resala Association to be an ongoing charity in his scale of good deeds.

I know that this man loves me without any ulterior motive or interest, and therefore I love him for the sake of God, even though I have not met him yet.

This man is Tamer Said
