The wisdom of using "Ya ayyuha" in the call

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, here the call seems to be for someone far away, "O you who..." even though the one being called is near. Yes.

Answer:
"Ya ayyu" — "Ya" is the particle of calling, and "ay" is a connector between the particle of calling and the one being called. Yes. And "ha" is said to be a particle of attention. "Ha, ya ayyu ha." Yes. So "ya" is the particle of calling, and "ay" is a connector between the one being called and the particle of calling. As for "ha," it is a particle of attention. There is no doubt that a person may be in a state of heedlessness, and even if he is not far away, he may be heedless, so he is called in order to make him pay attention to his heedlessness, because the heedless person is like the one who is far away. Yes.
