The answer

Perhaps the wisdom behind this is what Abu Al-Saud pointed out in his Tafsir (exegesis): that the plural form (khālidīn - abiding) came with regard to the collectivity of (man - whoever) according to its meaning, while the singular pronoun (khālidan - abiding) came with regard to its singular form in wording.
