Rather, it is a burden on the owner and a disgrace, regret, and remorse.
عَلَى on
A preposition 'on/upon' marking who carries the burden. It governs the noun that follows and frames the owner as the one weighed down by his own knowledge.
كان الرجل ممن كان قبلكم إذا ثقل عليه الحديث قال
A man among those before you, when the speech became heavy upon him, would say
عَلَيْهِ upon him
This is the preposition 'upon, on' fused with the attached pronoun 'him'. Together they mark the person the heaviness pressed down on. The preposition forces its pronoun into the form you see, and the pair tells you who was burdened, completing 'grew heavy upon him'.
