The article states that “Ibn Mutahhar Al-Hilli” died in **1374**. This appears to refer to Jamāl al-Dīn Ḥasan ibn Yūsuf ibn ʿAlī ibn Muṭhahhar al-Ḥillī (commonly known as **al-ʿAllāma al-Ḥillī**), a major Twelver Shīʿī scholar. Authoritative reference works date his death to **December 18, 1325** (726 AH), not 1374. For example, Encyclopaedia Britannica’s biography entry for al-Ḥillī gives his death date as **1325**. Since 1374 is nearly 50 years later, the “died 1374” claim is incorrect.

In Arabic, **الأنعام (al-anʿām)** refers to *grazing livestock/cattle*, not to humans. - Quran.com labels **Sūrat al-Anʿām** (Qur’an chapter 6) as **“The Cattle”**, reflecting the standard meaning of *al-anʿām*. - The PONS Arabic→English dictionary likewise translates **الانعام** as **“Livestock.”** By contrast, Edward William Lane’s *Arabic–English Lexicon* defines **الأَنَامُ (al-anām)** as “mankind / created beings.” So translating **“آية الله في الأنعام”** as **“Sign of God among mankind”** is incorrect as written: the Arabic used (الأنعام) corresponds to “livestock/cattle,” while “mankind” would require **الأَنام** (a different word with a different meaning). This appears to be a confusion between two similar-looking Arabic words (**الأنعام** vs **الأنام**) that are not interchangeable.
