قَائِمًا standing

This is an active participle, a 'doer' word meaning 'standing', and its open -an ending marks it as the state in which the subject persisted. It completes the 'did not cease standing' idiom by naming the posture he kept. The -an ending is the grammatical clue that it describes his condition during the action.
