He then added the path to the companion who traverses it,

السَّالِكِينَ those who traverse

An active participle, a doer-noun meaning 'the ones travelling', built on the pattern that turns a verb into 'one who does it'. As a sound masculine plural it ends in -in and describes the companion just mentioned, agreeing with it as a definite plural. So it does not name a separate group; it qualifies the companion as those who actually walk the path.

السَّالِكِينَ those who follow the path

An active participle ('those who travel') as a doer-noun, a sound masculine plural in -in, completing the 'of' pairing with 'fewness' before it. The pairing governs it into the genitive, giving 'the small number of those who walk the path'. It names the few whose scarcity should not discourage the listener.
