It is interesting how you argue for the authenticity of wiping, when many(if not most) of the major Ahlul Bayt Imams believed that wiping over khuffayn had been abrogated and was therefore not permissible, let alone over jawrabayn.
"Whoever acts upon what he knows, Almighty Allah bestows upon himthe knowledge of things not known to him"(Fazaa'il-e-A'maal, Virtues of the Holy Qur'an, Part 1, under Hadith 8)
Arey yaar.... This shi'ite is deviating the topic..
Brother Mutazili , if you are much interested, then become a sunni... i will happily accept you...
CAN ANY BODY CONCENTRATE ON THE MAIN TOPIC PLEASE...
You ask me for proofs, yet I see you on this forum making bold claims without substantiation.
If you were well read I would have thought that you knew the basic Fiqh of the Imams of Aal Muhammad.
Since you are a 12:er, tell me do the Imami scholars accepts the wiping of jawrabayn, if so on what basis?
12:ers never had many scholars from Aal Muhammad.
Imam al-Qasim bin Ibrahim al-Rassi and Imam Yahya bin al-Husayn, known as al-Hadi ila al-Haqq, are in agreement on this issue, it has been abrogated.
The Imams of Ahlul Bayt narrates from sayyidina Alithat he said, “Verily, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon
him and his progeny, wiped [over the leather socks] before the revelation of al-Mā’ida. The verse in al-Mā’ida [5:6] was not revealed yet.
However, he did not wipe afterwards.”
You don't follow an established tradition, you do not follow a specific Usul etc. You argue from your personal opinions and conclusions, and that is fine.
But then do not claim to represent anything other than yourself!
My post is really not about the validity of wiping over khuffayn or jawrabayn, but that you set yourself up as the champion of Ahlul Bayt, yet this thread goes to show that you don't follow their basic fiqh!

What is jawrabayn? Which hadeeth are you refering to? Could you mention it please? All I know is, that there are no authentic ahadeeth regarding where to place the hands. Some hanafi scholars consider the hadith regarding "under the navel" saheeh. The hanafis criticize the "on the chest" ahadeeth as far as I know.

Jawrabayn are regular socks (if i'm not mistaken), they're not leather scocks. As for the issue of the hands, the hadith used by Shawafi' is recorded in Sahih Ibn Khuzayma, while the Ahnaf use a Sahih if not hasan hadith (as 'Allama Qutlubugha states) mentioned in Musannaf alluded in his takhrijat of a particular book. The Ahnaf use proof from that hadith, as well as weak ahadith (all added amount to Hasan at the least), and the actions of the Salaf.

Phenominal work on the subject, I'm not done reading though.
