He says in the Collection of Reflections:
صَيْدِ collection of
This noun heads an 'of' pairing that forms a book title: it leans directly on the following noun to mean 'the catch/collection of...'. As the first member of that pairing it drops any 'the' of its own and takes definiteness from the word it owns. The two nouns placed side by side are how Arabic builds 'X of Y'.

He says in Collected Thoughts:
صَيْدِ collection
This noun heads an 'of' pairing forming a title, 'the collection of...': it leans on the following noun and takes definiteness from it. Governed by the preceding 'in', it sits in the genitive. The bare juxtaposition builds the title.
وَفِي جَوْفِ الْفِرَاءِ كُلُّ الصَّيْدِ،
And all the game was in the hollow of the fur cloak,
الصَّيْدِ the game
A definite noun 'the game/quarry', the owning term completing 'all the game', so it carries the genitive with al-. The pairing 'all of the X' puts the quantified noun in the genitive. It names the prize that the proverb says is all gathered in one spot.
