Hadith text

Narrated Abu Hazim:I asked Sahl bin Sa`d, "Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ever eat white flour?" Sahl said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never saw white flour since Allah sent him as an Apostle till He took him unto Him." I asked, "Did the people have (use) sieves during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" Sahl said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never saw (used) a sieve since Allah sent him as an Apostle until He took him unto Him," I said, "How could you eat barley unsifted?" he said, "We used to grind it and then blow off its husk, and after the husk flew away, we used to prepare the dough (bake) and eat it

Abu Hazim bataate hain: Maine Sahl bin Sa'd se pucha, 'Kya Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kabhi safed aata khaaya?' Sahl ne kaha, 'Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kabhi safed aata nahi dekha, jab se Allah ne unhein Rasool bana kar bheja tha yahaan tak ke unhein apne paas bula liya.' Maine pucha, 'Kya Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ki zindagi mein log chhalni ka istemaal karte the?' Sahl ne kaha, 'Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kabhi chhalni nahi dekhi (istemaal ki), jab se Allah ne unhein Rasool bana kar bheja tha yahaan tak ke unhein apne paas bula liya.' Maine pucha, 'To phir aap log bagair chhaane hue jau kaise khaate the?' Unhone kaha, 'Hum use peesa karte the, phir uska chhilka phoonk maar kar udaa dete the, aur jab chhilka udd jaata, to hum aata gundhkar rotiyaan banaakar khaate the.'
