حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ أَکَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم النَّقِيَّ يَعْنِي الْحُوَّارَی فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ مَا رَأَی رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم النَّقِيَّ حَتَّی لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَعَالَی فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَلْ کَانَتْ لَکُمْ مَنَاخِلُ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَا کَانَتْ لَنَا مَنَاخِلُ قِيلَ کَيْفَ کُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِالشَّعِيرِ قَالَ کُنَّا نَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ ثُمَّ نَعْجِنُهُ
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 137
Someone asked Sahl bin Sa'd Radiyallahu 'Anhu "Did Rasulullah Sallailahu 'Alayhi Wasallam ever eat bread made of white (fine) flour?" He replied: White flour may not have come before Rasulullah Sallailahu 'Alayhi Wasallam till his last days". The questioner then asked: "Did you people use sieved flour in the time of Rasulullah Sallailahu 'Alayhi Wasallam?"He replied: "No, it was not". The questioner then asked: "How was bread from barley prepared?" (because it has more particles in it). Sahl Radiyallahu Anhu replied: "We used to blow into the flour and the big particles flew out. The rest was made into dough".
