The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entrusted me with the safekeeping of the Zakat of Ramadan.
زَكَاةِ — Zakat of. A noun in the genitive that is at once the owned half of the pairing before it and the head of a further pairing with 'Ramadan' after it, a chain of possessives. So it both belongs to 'safekeeping' and owns 'Ramadan': 'the safekeeping of the Zakat of Ramadan'.
