Translation: Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound
heart. 4086
Commentary:
4086 "A sound heart"; qalb salim: a heart that is pure, and unaffected by the
diseases that afflict others, As the heart in Arabic is taken to be not only the seat of
feelings and affections, but also of intelligence and resulting action, it implies the
whole character. Cf. Abraham's title of Hanif (the True); 2:135 and n. 134. Cf.
also 26:89: "only he will prosper who brings to Allah a sound heart."
