If its adherent has sound belief, is just and kind, as we have seen in some of them.
سَلِيمَ — sound. This is the first predicate of 'to be', in the accusative, and it heads a possessive — 'sound OF belief'. Arabic builds 'sound in X' by setting this adjective before the noun, which then takes the genitive. The accusative marks it as a 'kana' predicate.
