قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنْ السَّائِلِ
He said, 'The one being asked does not know more about it than the one asking.'
السَّائِلِ the one asking
The yardstick of the comparison, 'the one asking', built from an active participle so it names the doer of the asking. With al- ('the') it is definite, and after 'than' it sits in the (genitive) ending. It closes the equation: questioned and questioner know the same.

Then he departed, and I stayed for a long period. Then he said: 'O Umar, do you know who the questioner was?'
السَّائِلُ the questioner
The noun completing the embedded question, 'the questioner', built from an active participle so it names the one who does the asking. With al- ('the') it is definite and stands in the nominative as the answer-slot the 'who' points to. The participle pattern is what turns 'ask' into 'one who asks'.
