أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَى ثَقِيفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ
سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ ، فَقُلْتُ : هَلْ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّقِيَّ ؟ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ : " مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّقِيَّ مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : هَلْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنَاخِلُ ؟ ، قَالَ : " مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْخُلا مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ " ، فَقُلْتُ : كَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ ؟ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَطْحَنُهُ ، فَنَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مَا طَارَ ، وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ ، فَأَكَلْنَاهُ " .
Abu Hazim narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ever eat bread made from sifted flour? Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: From the time Allah Almighty sent the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as a messenger until his passing, he never ate bread made from sifted flour. I asked: Did you people not have sieves during the blessed time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: From the time the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent as a messenger until his passing, he never saw a sieve. I asked: Then how did you eat barley without sifting it? He replied: We would grind it and then blow on it; whatever was meant to fly away would fly away, and whatever remained, we would cook and eat.
