He said, their gardens never failed them, neither in winter nor in summer.
شِتَاءً — in winter. A noun used adverbially for time, 'in winter', sitting in the object-style ending that Arabic uses to turn a noun into a 'when' marker without any preposition. So the bare ending alone does the work English needs 'in' for, pinning the gardens' constancy to the winter season.
