+nimnimak_11, good logic
the way the phrase is formulated is simple enough. still i don't know why they didn't include the "with" or "using" in 56. probably to make other people directly understand what the verse meant by their standards.
contemplate on this difference for insight
1-draw your left hand
2-draw with/using your left hand
the intent in that verse is not to wipe something, but to wipe "using" something.
"using" is a constrain. if we are doing an action in a specific way, then we are constrainted in that specific way.
so for the question what to wipe, that is not a constraint the doer is left to choose whatever he wants. i personally wipe my hands with my head/hair. you're allowed to use other means. not constraining something is making the idea of free choice appear.
the end result of the action is the head will be half washed half dry.
note that the feet should be wiped( it is the 'what', a clear difference between 'wipe using head' and 'wipe feet'.
i use a towel for that.
we are free to complete the actions however we want/need as long it met all the constraints in the verse.

wipe with your head and wipe your feet.
i wipe my hands with my head and i wipe my feet with a towel

thank you for your insights especially about ayyoub story.
but i beg to differ
وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ
the context here is filtering out the bad of the rizk, giving to the needy what is bad and keeping what is good of your rizk. god ordered us to not do that.
tayammum is filtering out what is considered bad
ṣaʿīdan ṭayyiban
there is a theory that having a quality of ṭayyib makes it more related to something physical rather than a concept. i'm guessing.
junuban
from quran janaba is "to make {something1} avoid {something2}",
from 1435
رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا الْبَلَدَ آمِنًا وَاجْنُبْنِي وَبَنِيَّ أَنْ نَعْبُدَ الْأَصْنَامَ
i apologize that i don't know what form is used on junuban. if someone can pinpoint where junuban should reside( in something1 or something2) please do so.
but generaly you are either avoiding or being avoided (both are not the same as making others avoid something).
which gives the image of physical cleaness being dirty and having a bad smell. you not wanting to be embarassed so you avoid, or others not wanting to get dirty so you are being avoided
running is not helping with the above with if you can't clean yourself afterwards (no water). that is at least one indication that the verse is not related to exercising.
