وَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُ بَعْضُ اللَّيْلِ،
He was reluctant to ask about him until part of the night had passed.
اللَّيْلِ — the night. Carries the attached 'the' and closes 'part of the night' as the owner-half of that pairing, so its ending takes the possessor case. Set directly after with no word for 'of', it tells you what a portion is taken from.
