قال رجل منهم اللهم كان لي أبوان شيخان كبيران، وكنت لا أغبق قبلهما أهلاً ولا مالاً

One of them said: 'O Allah, I had elderly parents, and I never provided drink to my family or wealth before them.'

أَبَوَانِ parents

This is a dual noun, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form, so it means the pair of parents without any added word for 'two'. It is the delayed subject of the 'there was for me' frame, naming what the speaker possessed; the count rides in the word's ending.
