"Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ eat Naqi – meaning refined (flour)?” So Sahl said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not see Naqi until he met Allah.” It was said to him: “Did you have sifters during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” He said: “There were no sifters for us.” They said: “How did you prepare the barley?”He said: “We would blow it so (the husk) would fly off of it, then we would add water so we could knead it.” (Hasan)  

أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ يَعْنِي الْحُوَّارَى فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَلْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ مَنَاخِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا كَانَتْ لَنَا مَنَاخِلُ قِيلَ فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِالشَّعِيرِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ ثُمَّ نُثَرِّيهِ فَنَعْجِنُهُ  

I asked Sahl bin Saʿd, "Did Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever eat white flour?" Sahl said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw white flour since Allah sent him as an Apostle till He took him unto Him." I asked, "Did the people have (use) sieves during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Sahl said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw (used) a sieve since Allah sent him as an Apostle until He took him unto Him," I said, "How could you eat barley unsifted?" he said, "We used to grind it and then blow off its husk, and after the husk flew away, we used to prepare the dough (bake) and eat it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5413)  

سَأَلْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ؟ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنَاخِلُ؟ قَالَ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُنْخُلًا مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ؟ قَالَ « كُنَّا نَطْحَنُهُ فَنَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مَا طَارَ وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ فَأَكَلْنَاهُ»

My father told me: I asked Sahl bin Sa’d: “Did you ever see dough made from well-sifted flour?” He said: “I never saw dough made from well-sifted flour until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away.” I said: “Did they have sieves at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” He said: “I never saw a sieve until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away.” I said: “How did you eat barley that was not sifted?” He said: “We used to blow on it, and whatever flew away, flew away, and whatever was left we made dough with it.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3335)   

«مَا رَأَيْتُ النِّقْيَ حَتَّى قَبَضَ اللهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» قُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ مَنَاخِلُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «مَا رَأَيْتُ مُنْخُلًا حَتَّى قَبَضَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ» قُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ نَنْفُخُهُ ثُمَّ يَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ»
