The Jabirian works also contain some of the earliest preserved Shi'ite <a href="/wiki/Imamate_in_Shia_doctrine" title="Imamate in Shia doctrine">imamological</a> doctrines, which Jabir presented as deriving from his purported master, the Shi'ite Imam <a href="/wiki/Ja%27far_al-Sadiq" title="Ja'far al-Sadiq">Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq</a> (died 765). </p><p>As early as the 10th century, the identity and exact corpus of works of Jabir was in dispute in Islamic scholarly circles.
