I asked Sahl bin Sad, “Did Allah’s Apostle ever eat white flour?” Sahl said, “Allah’s Apostle 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 Apostle?” Sahl said, “Allah’s Apostle 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.”

Three traditions have been established because of Barira: ‘Aisha intended to buy her and set her
free, but Barira’s masters said, “Her wala’ will be for us.” ‘Aisha mentioned that to Allah’s Apostle who
said, “You could accept their condition if you wished, for the wala is for the one who manumits the
slave.” Barira was manumitted, then she was given the choice either to stay with her husband or
leave him; One day Allah’s Apostle entered ‘Aisha’s house while there was a cooking pot of food boil –
ing on the fire. The Prophet asked for lunch, and he was presented with bread and some extra food
from the home-made Udm (e.g. soup). He asked, “Don’t I see meat (being cooked)?” They said, “Yes, O
Allah’s Apostle! But it is the meat that has been given to Barira in charity and she has given it to us as
a present.” He said, “For Barira it is alms, but for us it is a present.”

the Talbina would be poured on it. ‘Aisha would say (to the women),”Eat of it, for I heard Allah’s
Apostle saying, ‘The Talbina soothes the heart of the patient and relieves him from some of his sad –
ness.’ “
