أيها الناس، إن الله خلق السموات والأرض في ستة أشهر، ثم استوى على العرش
O people, indeed Allah created the heavens and the earth in six months, then rose over the Throne.
أَشْهُرٍ months
This is 'months', the counted noun owned by 'six' in front of it. Arabic builds 'six months' as a possessive 'six of months', so this word takes the genitive ending as the second, owned term. It is indefinite, just months in general.

قال سمعت القارئ يقرأ ولقد خلقنا السموات والأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام فظننت الأيام أشهرًا
He said: I heard the reciter reading 'And We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days,' so I thought the days were months.
أَشْهُرًا months
This is 'months', the second object of 'I supposed', what he wrongly took the days to be. It carries the accusative ending as that second object. Arabic lets one verb govern two accusatives, the item and the verdict on it, which is how 'supposed the days months' is built.
