==Opposition to Usuli Scholars==
==Opposition to Usuli Scholars==
Since Mirza Muhammad had adopted the [[Akhbari]] approach, he had serious frictions with [[Usuli school|Usuli]] scholars of [[fiqh]], such as [[Shaykh Ja'far al-Najafi]], [[Sayyid 'Ali Tabataba'i]], [[Sayyid Muhammad Baqir Hujjat al-Islam Isfahani]], and [[Muhammad Ibrahim al-Kalbasi]]. The pressures on the part of Usuli scholars forced him to leave [[Iraq]] for [[Iran]]. He lived in [[Mashhad]] and other cities of Iran for a while, and then he was welcomed by the government of Fath-Ali Shah to live in [[Tehran]] for four years. His presence in Tehran coincided with the first round of Russo-Persian War (1805-1813). Throughout this time, he was particularly respected by the Qajar Shah. He engaged in writing and teaching, and since some [[kiramat]] from him were widely spread among laypeople, he was known as "Sahib al-Kiramat".

After pressures by influential figures, the Qajar king withdrew his support for Mirza Muhammad, and thus, he had to return to Iraq. He resided in [[Kadhimiya]]. In his deportation from Iran, the role of some Usuli scholars, particularly Shaykh Ja'far al-Najafi by writing his book, ''[[Kashf al-ghita']]'', to reproach Mirza Muhammad, should not be neglected.
