It was asked from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ever ate bread made from sifted flour, that is, fine flour (maida)? Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never even saw bread made from fine flour until he met Allah, the Exalted. Then Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: Did you people not have sieves during the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: We did not have sieves. Then it was asked: What did you do with the flour of barley? He replied: We used to blow into it, so whatever could fly away (the husk) would fly away, then we would knead that flour.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, never ate food on a table.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never ate his fill of bread and meat twice in one day.
