وَلَا «هَؤُلَاءِ» فِي «قَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ»، لِوُجُودِ الشَّبَهِ
Translation: nor “hāʾulāʾi” in “These people stood,” because of resemblance [to inherently fixed forms].
قَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ
Translation: These people stood.
«هَؤُلَاءِ» is a mabnī demonstrative noun. It serves as the subject, in the nominative position, but does not acquire the changing ḍamma that appears on «زَيْدٌ».
Remember: occupying a nominative position differs from displaying a changing nominative ending.
