“In the place of nasb” — a mabni word or a sentence filling a nasb slot.
Classical definition
تَكُونُ الكَلِمَةُ المَبْنِيَّةُ أَوِ الجُمْلَةُ فِي مَحَلِّ نَصْبٍ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ مَوْقِعَ المَنْصُوبِ، كَجُمْلَةِ مَقُولِ القَوْلِ.
“A mabni word or a sentence is “in the place of nasb” when it stands where a nasb word would stand — like the quoted-speech sentence after قَالَ.”
(بتصرف من ابن هشام)
Understand it
Object slots welcome mabni words and whole sentences. In خَلَقَكُمْ the attached pronoun ـكُمْ is the object — fi mahall nasb, since a pronoun can show no fatha. And everything quoted after قَالَ fills the object slot as one block: the entire sentence is “what was said”.
How to spot it
Recognition test
Ask what the verb did to what; if the answer is a pronoun or a whole sentence, that filler is fi mahall nasb.
