‘Umār b. al-Khaṭṭāb’s respect for the Christians.
When ‘Umār b. al-Khaṭṭāb was in Palestine, a Christian patriarch offered to let him to pray in the Church. ‘Umār refused to do so because if he did, the Muslims would want to celebrate the event by removing the church and replacing it with a mosque.
Instead he walked away and prayed, and today a mosque exists 50 feet away from the Church where this event took place.
