As a rebuttal to controversial book Tuhfa Isna Asha'ariyya by Sunni scholar Shah Abdul Aziz (d1824) Hakim Kamil composed Nuzah Isna Ashariyya (Gift of Twelvers).

It is reported that Nawab of Jhajhar – Abdur Rahman – invited him to Jhajhar (district Rohtak) and then had him poisoned to death as retaliation for composing the book Nuzha.
