Virtues of Sayyiduna Umar رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ from the tongue of the Chosen One

Dear Islamic sisters! One of the aspects of Ameer-ul-Mumineen, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam’s رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ excellence is that he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ is from amongst those noble companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم whom the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم praised in abundance. He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was conferred many virtues by the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, which are not shared by anybody else. Let us listen to some of those virtues:
