Another Muslim, Muhammad Yahya, rescued five children from fire at the Abu Sefein church in the city of Giza.
Yahya, who lives next door and was injured during the rescue, said he headed to the church after hearing screams.
He tried to rescue an elderly man by carrying him on his back, but he slipped due to the large amount of water used to extinguish the fire, and they both fell to the ground.
Yahya broke his leg in the fall and was taken to hospital. He has been visited by priests checking on his health and thanking him for his bravery.
