And in his heart there was some good that weighed a barley grain.

لِلْقَلْبِ to the heart

From Faith and Worship

وَسُلِّطَ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَعْدَاءٍ

And four enemies were set upon his heart.

قَلْبِهِ his heart

One Arabic word packs two pieces: the noun 'heart' plus a stuck-on possessor at its end pointing back to the man being discussed. Because it sits right after the preposition 'upon', it carries the 'of' (genitive) ending. The owner is fused onto the noun rather than written as a separate word like English 'his'.
