30 – Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Sulaymān, from Abū Ḥāzim, who said: “I asked Sahl ibn Saʿd, ‘Did you ever see sieves during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ ⦗47⦘ He replied, ‘I never saw a single sieve in those days, nor was any flour sifted for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for an entire month until he left this world.’ I said, ‘Then how did you manage?’ He answered, ‘We would grind the grain and then blow away its husk; whatever bran flew off, flew off, and whatever remained, remained.’
