[edit] Grammer and Spelling
I corrected a few grammar and spelling errors but could not correct the main body of article as I could not understand it.

There is also Ibn Nafis. It is the same person, surely, despite a few factual discrepancies. Charles Matthews 19:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Ibn Nafis (1210-1288) was the first person to accurately describe the process of blood circulation in the human body (in 1242). Contemporary drawings of this process have survived. In particular, he is the first known person to have documented the pulmonary circuit. His work was largely unnoticed until found in Berlin in 1924, and as a result, credit for the modern concept of the blood circulation is generally given to William Harvey.
[edit] Manner of death
Wasn't he accused of heresy and ordered killed for his work on the circulatory system?
- That was Michael Servetus, not Ibn al-Nafis. Jagged 85 (talk) 22:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Broad Unsubstantiated Generalization
I quote: "This was a view that was held by a majority of ulema (legal scholars) in his time, but this view was not shared by traditional hadith scholars in his time who did not differentiate between hadiths that were "sahih" and "mutawatir"." What historical evidence is there to support this claim? Mutawatir is mentioned in ibn al-Salah's Introduction to the Sciences of Hadith, for example, as well as in al-Kifayah by Khatib al-Baghdadi. Therefore this was not an overlooked concept the traditional scholars nor was the 'distinction' between the two categories a new concept in ibn al-Nafis's time.
