فضائله جليلة وَهِي خليّة عَن اللّبْس

His virtues are magnificent, and they are free from ambiguity.

جَلِيلَةٌ are magnificent

Although 'virtues' is plural, its description here is feminine singular: Arabic treats most non-human plurals as a single feminine thing for agreement, so a plural subject regularly takes a 'she'-shaped adjective. The final '-un' marks it as the indefinite predicate of a sentence that needs no 'are'.

It contains many noble benefits.

جَلِيلَةٌ noble

A second adjective on the benefits, again feminine-singular-shaped to agree with the non-human plural. Stacking two adjectives this way lets Arabic pile descriptions onto one noun, both echoing its agreement endings. It adds a further quality to the benefits.
