The Muslim Brotherhood has a long history…

1954 CE

The Muslim Brotherhood has a long history of anti-British and antiregime activities, but its leaders stipulate that they will work with the Free Officers only if the officers will agree to Brotherhood objectives.

Because the Brotherhood would not refrain from opposing the RCC, Nasser had outlawed the organization in February 1954.

Naguib had always had a certain sympathy for the Brotherhood, and its leaders implicate him in the
attack on Nasser.

It is doubtful that he had any connection with the attack, but it gives Nasser the pretext he needs to remove Naguib from the presidency, and he does so in November.
