An ordinary sound masculine plural is مُسْلِمُونَ in the nominative and مُسْلِمِينَ in the accusative/genitive.
In an iḍāfa, its final plural nūn is dropped: e.g. مُسْلِمُو الْبَلَدِ and مُسْلِمِي الْبَلَدِ.
The present textbook rule concerns the special case of addition to the first-person yāʾ, where an additional sound change occurs.
