أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إياكم والظن، فإن الظن أكذب الحديث،
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 'Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of speech.'
الحديثِ of speech
This noun carries 'the' and stands as the owner-half of the 'most false of speech' pairing, taking the possessor ending that the second noun in such a chain requires. That ending is what conveys 'of', since the two nouns simply sit side by side with nothing between them.
