خَيْرًا any good

This is an indefinite noun serving as the direct object of the verb, with the accusative tail ending plus the doubled 'n' sound that marks 'some/any' indefiniteness.

خَيْرًا good

خَيْرًا in good

A noun in the object (accusative) form, used to specify the respect in which the increase happens: 'in good'. Arabic adds such an accusative noun to a verb of increase to name the area of the gain, so it pins down that the growth is specifically in goodness.
