ibnmajah:3335Muḥammad b. al-Ṣabbāḥ And Sūwayd b. Saʿīd > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Abū Ḥāzim from my father > Saʾalt Sahl b. Saʿd Hal Raʾayt al-Naqī

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.”  

ابن ماجة:٣٣٣٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ سَأَلْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ النَّقِيَّ قَالَ

مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّقِيَّ حَتَّى قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ فَهَلْ كَانَ لَهُمْ مَنَاخِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مُنْخُلاً حَتَّى قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ نَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ عِنْدَ الْوُجُودِ، كَانَ يَتَنَكَّبُ السَّرَفَ فِي أَسْبَابِ الْأَكْلِ، وَكَذَلِكَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ

ibnhibban:6360ʿUmar b. Muḥammad al-Hamdānī > Abū al-Ṭāhir b. al-Sarḥ > Ibn Wahb > Yaʿqūb b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Abū Ḥāzim

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)  

ابن حبّان:٦٣٦٠أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ بْنُ السَّرْحِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ

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

الطبراني:٥٨٨٩وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ سَأَلْتُ سَهْلًا هَلْ رَأَيْتَ النِّقْيَ؟ قَالَ

«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»
