5413. Narrated Abū Hāzim: I asked Sahl bin Sa'd, "Did Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ever eat white flour?" Sahl said, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ never saw white flour since Allāh sent him as a Messenger till He took him unto Him." I asked, "Did the people have (use) sieves during the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger?" Sahl said, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ never saw (used) a sieve since Allāh sent him as a Messenger 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."
