For several nights before he returned to his family,
اللَّيَالِيَ — the nights. This noun names a stretch of time and serves as a time-adverb spanning how long the retreats lasted; its accusative ending is what marks that 'for/during' adverbial role. It opens the 'of-a-number' pairing that follows to mean 'several nights'.
