الصِّغَارِ the young

And He made it the dwellings of creation, nurturing them as infants and receiving them as remains,
صِغَارًا as infants
This noun is in the accusative, working as a state-description, 'as little ones / while small', which is how Arabic folds 'in the condition of' into an accusative noun. So the ending marks it as the state the creatures are in while being reared.
وَكَمْ صِغَرٍ قَاسَى الأَبُ لِأَجَلِّ الصِّغَارِ،
And how often the father endured hardship for the little ones,
الصِّغَارِ the little ones
Carries al- ('the') and is the object of the purpose phrase before it, so it takes the genitive ending. It names the young children for whom the father toiled. The plural is an irregular reshaped form, and the article marks them as specific.
