56 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! When you congregate for Salat, wash your faces and your forearms, hands to the elbows. Lightly rub your heads and your feet to the ankles. ---.
"56. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo itha qumtum ila alssalati faighsiloo wujoohakum waaydiyakum ila almarafiqi waimsahoo biruoosikum waarjulakum ila alkaAAbayni
****faighsiloo wujoohakum = wash your faces,(notice the end of the word ..akum)
****waimsahoo biruoosikum = wipe your head,(notice the end of the word ..ikum)
****waarjulakum = and your feet ,(notice the end of the word ..akum)
Because the word waarjulakum is written with .....lakum, it follows the washing of the face.....lakum, grammatically.
For the feet to follow the wiping of the head it should have been writttten as waarjulikum , that is .....likum and NOT ....lakum as it is in the verse."
I have discussed this with several arabic speaking persons, and most confirm the verse says 'rub your head and feet'. But still i would like to understand the above better.

Answer
IKUM and AKUM are not grammatically important here.
KUM is sufficient (YOUR in plural). The flow of the verse here means 'wipe your feet'. Shias are right here but for the wrong reason.
The Sunnis write AKUM.The Shias write IKUM from the so-called non-existent QIR'AT IBN 'ABBAS (Abdullah bin Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib.)
Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas was the son of the exalted prophet's paternal uncle, Hazrat Abbas). How could the prophet's cousin have a different copy of the Qur'an.
Interestingly, through the same non-existent QIR'AT IBN 'ABBAS, the Shias bring support for MUT'AH (temporary marriage.) They maintain that that QIR'AT said, "Marry women ILA AJALIM-MUSAMMA" (Marry women for an appointed or pre-determined time).
Allah says in 2231 - DO NOT MAKE ALLAH'S VERSES A LAUGHING STOCK.
You know QIR'AT means a way of reciting and not writing.
I hope, I am clear.
