As for Haritha, he used to stroke his mother's head.
أُمِّهِ — his mother. This noun carries the attached '-hi' (his), giving 'his mother', and it is the owned half of 'his mother's head', so it takes the genitive that the preceding noun imposes. The '-hi' points back to the son. The 'of' bond is built by the two nouns sitting together, with the suffix and case ending carrying the possession.
