وَتَرَكَ البَعْضُ الآخَرُ الْكِتَابَةَ لِدِقَّةِ تَثَبُّتِهِ وَقُوَّةِ حِفْظِهِ
Others abandoned writing because what they retained was precise and their memory was strong.
الْكِتَابَةَ — the writing. The definite direct object of 'abandoned', hence accusative (the audible -a ending). With 'al-' it is the specific activity given up, writing, receiving the verb's action directly without a relator.
