And how many fortified castles has He demolished, and how many homes has He shaken,
أَبْيَاتًا homes

بَيْتًا a house
An indefinite noun (no 'the'), the thing being asked for, so it stands as the receiver-of-the-action of the command verb. Its ending is the accusative form that marks a verb's direct object, signaling 'make a house' as the content of the request.
