حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ أَکَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّقِيَّ يَعْنِي الْحُوَّارَی فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ مَا رَأَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّقِيَّ حَتَّی لَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَلْ کَانَتْ لَکُمْ مَنَاخِلُ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا کَانَتْ لَنَا مَنَاخِلُ قِيلَ فَکَيْفَ کُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِالشَّعِيرِ قَالَ کُنَّا نَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ ثُمَّ نُثَرِّيهِ فَنَعْجِنُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ مَالِکُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2364
Abu Hazin narrated that Sahl bin Sa'd asked: Did the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) eat Naqi – meaning refined (flour)?” So Sahl said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) 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 (s.a.w)?” 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)
