فمن أراد صلاح نفسه، فليجاهدها جهادًا طويلاً، وليصبر على مراغمتها
So whoever wants to reform himself, let him strive against it with a long struggle, and be patient in opposing it.
صَلَاحَ the rectification
This is the first half of 'reform of his self', the object of 'wants', so it stands in the object case. It owns the link with the noun after it and gives up its own 'the', taking definiteness from that following noun.
وارتقى في الصلاح والمعرفة إلى أفضل رتبة،
and ascended in piety and knowledge to the highest rank,
الصَّلَاحِ the piety
This noun is one domain he rose in, held in the governed form by the preceding 'in'. The 'the' makes it the definite, general quality of righteousness.
