  So it darkened the sought one and led the pursuer astray.

• والتوكل والاستعانة للْعَبد لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ الْوَسِيلَة وَالطَّرِيق الَّذِي ينَال بِهِ مَقْصُوده ومطلوبه من الْعِبَادَة

  And reliance and seeking help are for the servant because they are the means and the path through which he attains his goals and desires in worship.

  وَمَطْلُوبَهُ — and his desire. The 'and' prefix joins a second object, and the attached 'his' points back to the servant as owner. A coordinated noun keeps the same object ending, adding 'his desire' alongside 'his goal'.
