وعن سهل بن سعد رضي الله عنه
قال: ما رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم النقي من حين ابتعثة الله تعالى حتى قبضه الله تعالى، فقيل له: هل كان لكم في عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مناخل؟ قال: ما رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منخلا من حين ابتعثه الله تعالى حتى قبضه الله تعالى، فقيل له: كيف كنتم تأكلون الشعير غير منخول؟ قال: كنا نطحنه وننفخه، فيطير ما طار، وما بقى ثريناه
Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had never seen bread made out of fine flour throughout his life, since Allah commissioned him until his death. He was asked, “Did you not have sieves at the time of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)?”
He replied, “Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) never saw a sieve.” He was asked, “How did you manage to eat barley bread made of unsieved flour?” He said, “We used to ground it and then blew away the husk, and what remained we kneaded into dough.”.
