  The authors argue that the calculated $^6$He binding energies by the solution
of the coupled Yakubovsky integral equation in a partial wave decomposition
reported by E. Ahmadi Pouya and A. A. Rajabi [Eur. Phys. J. Plus (2016) 131:
240] are incorrect. The formalism of the paper has serious mistakes and the
numerical results are not reproducible and cannot be validated.
