If between two اِسْمٌ there is a relation of possession, then possessed is called مُضَافٌ and the possessor is مُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ
مُضَافٌ and مُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ always come one after another. مُضَافٌ never comes with ال and ‘tanwin’ and مُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ is always مَجْرُوْرٌ , example-

If an ism has تَنْوِيْنٌ then it is indefinite and if it has ال then it is definite. But have you noticed that the mudaf don't have ‘al’ and ‘tanween’ on it. So how to determine whether it is definite or indefinite?
مُضَافٌ can be both definite and indefinite depending on the state of مُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ . If مُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ is definite then مُضَافٌ is definite, as in 1st line قَلَمُ is definite because Hamid is definite but in 2nd line بَيْتُ indefinite as a businessman is indefinite.
