Good-heartedness
Salamah linguistically: It is the root sin, lam, and mim revolves around wellness and good health. Salamah is wellbeing, and that man is free from disability and harm. Maqayis al-Lughah, Ibn Faris (3/90), Lisan al-`Arab, Ibn Manzur (12/289).
Sadr linguistically: It is the forefront of all things. All that confronts one is sadr. The sadr of a channel is its highest point, and the sadr of a matter is its beginning. al-`Ayn, al-Khalil (7/94); al-Muhkam, Ibn Sidah (8/282); al-Mu`jam al-Wasit, the Academy of the Arabic Language (1/509).
Salamat al-Sadr technically: It is being secure from malice, rancour, and hate, and from all other illnesses of the heart and its ailments. It is being safe from everything that takes away from Allah, exalted. Fi al-Suluk al-Islami al-Qawim, Ibn al-Shawkani (p. 121).

The 'heart', in Quran is vocabulary, is not just a piece of flesh in your body, but it is the centre of all your feelings, emotions, motives, drives, aspirations, remembrance and attention. It is the heart which softens
Quran Surah Az Zumar 39: verse 23,
اللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابًا مُّتَشَابِهًا مَّثَانِيَ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُودُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَقُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُدَى اللَّهِ يَهْدِي بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ ﴿٢٣﴾
Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide. (23)

And Allah said in the Quran:Surah Qaf verse 37
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ ﴿٣٧﴾
“Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind]. (37)” ( 50:37 )
And said:Surah Qaf V.31 -33
وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ﴿٣١﴾ هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ ﴿٣٢﴾ مَّنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمَٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُّنِيبٍ ﴿٣٣﴾
And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far, (31) [It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allah] and keeper [of His covenant] (32) Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance]. (33).” ( 50: 31 -33)
Therefore, the above verses make it explicit that health of a person is related to his heart's condition and his eternal salvation depends upon his return to God-Almighty with a pure and humble heart. On the other side the Holy Qur’an introduces some examples of hearts which are sick as follows:Surah Al Baqara V.10
