that they were one and the same, and did not go into the dfeeirfnces between them. al-Zamakhshari indicated in his tafseer that the fu’aad was (metaphorically) the innermost part of the heart, and the qalb was the outer layer. Others mentioned based on the Qur’anic verses in which the word fu’aad occurs, that the fu’aad is the place in the body that controls the emotions, intellect and memory, and thus based on its usage in the Qur’an and our knowledge of modern science, its place is in the mind.This last explanation seems the most convincing to me, particularly in light of what the classical mufassirreen have said in explanation of the word ‘faarighan’ in the verse you quoted: a number of them incl. Ibn Mas’ood, Ibn ‘Abbas and al-Dahhak (may Allaah be pleased with them all) said for example that it means that her fu’aad was void of remembering anything in this world other than her son Musa.There is an arabic research paper by Abdullah al-Harithi on the Qur’anic miracle in stating the difference between the Qalb and the Fu’aad, that goes into detail regarding the evidences and verses that back up this opinion. And Allaah knows best. –
