3335 - Yes, we used to blow on it, and some of it would fly away «نَعَمْ كُنَّا نَنْفُخُهُ، فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ

٣٣٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ: هَلْ رَأَيْتَ النَّقِيَّ؟ قَالَ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّقِيَّ، حَتَّى قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» فَقُلْتُ: فَهَلْ كَانَ لَهُمْ مَنَاخِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ مُنْخُلًا، حَتَّى قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» ، قُلْتُ: فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ كُنَّا نَنْفُخُهُ، فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ، وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ»

3335 - Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah and Suwaid ibn Sa`id narrated: `Abd al-`Aziz ibn Abi Hazim narrated: My father narrated: I asked Sahl ibn Sa`d: Have you seen al-Naqi? He said: “I did not see pure barley until the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) passed away.” I said: “Did they have sieves during the time of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)?” He said: “I did not see a sieve until the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) passed away.” I said: “Then how did you eat barley that was not sifted?” He said: “Yes, we used to blow on it, and some of it would fly away, and what remained we would make it tharid.”
