Verse (4:97)

The analysis above refers to the 97th verse of chapter 4 (sūrat l-nisāa):

Sahih International: Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." The angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination.

(4:97:5)The plural اسم منصوب is ظَالِمِينَ How come it ظَالِمِي?

The word is "mudhaaf" so the "nun" is dropped. If the head noun in an iḍāfa (إضافَة) construction (also known as a genitive construction) is sound masculine plural, then it loses its nun.
