The quarrel was considerably exemplified in his serious debate with [[Mirza Muhammad b. 'Abd al-Nabi Niyshaburi]] (d. 1232/1816), the well-known Akhbari scholar. After this, Mirza Muhammad went to Iran and took refuge to [[Fath 'Ali Shah]], the [[Qajar]] king. Kashif al-Ghita' wrote a book under ''Kashf al-ghita' 'an ma'ayib Mirza Muhammad 'aduww al-'ulama'' (Unveiling the cover from the flaws of Mirza Muhammad, the enemy of scholars) which was a rejection of Mirza Muhammad's views and sent it to the Iranian king. He then went to Iran and negotiated with the king until the Qajar king dismissed Mirza Muhammad from his palace. | The quarrel was considerably exemplified in his serious debate with [[Mirza Muhammad b.

He was very sharp and competent in Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh as evidenced by his work in this area. He wrote this book during his travel to Iran while the only book available to him was [[Qawa'id al-ahkam]] by [[al-'Allama al-Hilli]].
