84 Preface إِذ جاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلبٍ سَليمٍYusuf AliBehold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart.1“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 Ḥanīf (the True); 2:135 and n. 134. Cf. also 26:89: “only he will prosper who brings to God a sound heart.”
