Could be rumours, but without ownership let me narrate to what I heard:

"A guy went to the airport to travel to his home country but he was asked to pay fines for his mobile SIM card."

After further probing I came to know that the guy had a post paid connection with unpaid bill in due. This I believe is normal and its better and the right thing to do to clear your dues before you travel.

As long as they were not registered in your name, I guess not.

With all good intentions, did not intend to scare you at all. This could be a hoax for all we know.

To check if your iqama has how many SIMS registered under just call the Customer care and you will know.
