And they are delighted by it, because it gathers the souls and eases the heart from the toil of thought.
كَدِّ — toil. This noun heads an ownership pairing with the next word, 'toil of thought', set side by side with no separate 'of'. As the lead noun it takes the genitive here because it sits right after the preposition, and it leans on the following noun for its definiteness.
