وَلَمَّا كَانَ طَالِبُ الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ طَالِبَ أَمْرٍ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ نَاكِبُونَ عَنْهُ،
And when the seeker of the straight path was a seeker of a matter from which most people turn away,
الْصِّرَاطِ — the path. A definite noun completing the 'of' pair, 'the seeker of the path', genitive as the owner. The side-by-side nouns carry the possession with no 'of'. It also bears the adjective that follows, so the path is further specified as straight.
