Grammar Rules

Vocative يا (O!)
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا (O you) uses the vocative — it's calling out to someone or addressing them directly.
We add "O" before the name — "O O you!"

Sahih International

O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves [i.e., believers], for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.
