حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ , أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ , أَخْبَرَنِي بَكْرُ بْنُ سَوَادَةَ , أَنَّ حَنَشَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَهُ , عَنْ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ ، أَنَّهَا غَرْبَلَتْ دَقِيقًا , فَصَنَعَتْهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَغِيفًا , فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ " , قَالَتْ : طَعَامٌ نَصْنَعُهُ بِأَرْضِنَا , فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ مِنْهُ لَكَ رَغِيفًا , فَقَالَ : " رُدِّيهِ فِيهِ ثُمَّ اعْجِنِيهِ " .
´It was narrated from Umm Ayman that she sifted some flour and made a loaf of bread for the Prophet (ﷺ). He said:` “What is this?” She said: “It is food that we make in our land, and I wanted to make a loaf of it for you. He said: “Fold it onto itself and knead it.”
