الْأَزْمَانِ time
This is the plural owner noun 'the times/eras' closing 'passing of the times', in the genitive of the possessive pair and made definite by 'the'. Its plural shape stresses the long stretch of ages across which the cycle continues.
وأعوذ بالله أن أكون قد ضيعت الزمان في نعت بطلة الطلبة ،
And I seek refuge in God from having wasted time in praising a useless student,
الزَّمَانَ the time
The al- marks this definite, 'the time', and it is the direct object of 'I wasted', in the object ending. The ending flags time as the thing squandered, not the doer.
لِيَزُولَ عَنْ الطَّالِبِ لِلْهِدَايَةِ وَسُلُوكِ الصِّرَاطِ وَحْشَةُ تَفَرُّدِهِ عَنْ أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ وَبَنُو جِنْسِهِ،
So that the seeker of guidance and follower of the path may be freed from the fear of being singled out from his contemporaries and peers.
زَمَانِهِ his time
This noun completes the 'of' pairing with 'people' before it and carries the attached -hi ('his'), so the chain reads 'the people of his time'. The attached possessor closes the pairing and pins it to the seeker. The genitive ending shows it is the owner half of the relationship.
