O my people, if you had emigrated, you would have seen*** the landmarks of Taybah with clear sight (Parsing of "O my people")

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
"O my people"
In such an expression, it is permissible to say: "O my people" (with kasrah on the mim), and it is permissible to say "O my people" (with dammah on the mim), with the kasrah considering the deleted yaa, and with the dammah as a way of cutting off the genitive construction. He says:
"O my people" or "O my people, if you had emigrated, you would have seen*** the landmarks of Taybah with clear sight"
Taybah is Madinah, and it should not be called Yathrib as some contemporary writers do, following the Christian converts, but rather it is Taybah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. They say:
Yathrib, and it is Taybah يثرب وهي طيبة
and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth. As for the saying of Allah the Exalted:
O people of Yathrib, there is no stability for you يا أهل يثرب لا مقام لكم
[Al-Ahzab 33:13]
this is a narration of the words of the hypocrites, and not an approval of it. He says:
"you would have seen*** the landmarks of Taybah with clear sight"
