Answer 1

Is /article/1 the end of the URL you want to redirect?

If so, use $ to indicate that this is where the URL ends.

ie. RewriteRule /article/1$ https://example.com/article/1/title-of-blog [R=301]

Answer 2

To fix this, the destination should be a full URL. This will look something like:

Redirect 301 /article/1 http://yourdomain/article/1/title-of-blog

For example, if your domain was example.com, you would have:

Redirect 301 /article/1 http://example.com/article/1/title-of-blog
