You need to put the validation rules in the Post model, Then you can check validate data or not in the controller action before save into model. See the following Model and controller

In Model 

class Post extends AppModel{
    public $name = 'posts';

    public $validate = array(
        'title' => array(
            'alphaNumeric' => array(
                'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
                'required' => true,
                'message' => 'This is can'\t blank'
            ),

        ),
        'body' => array(
            'alphaNumeric' => array(
                'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
                'required' => true,
                'message' => 'This is can'\t blank'
            ),            
        ),
    );
}

In Controller 

public function add(){
   if($this->request->is('post')){
        $this->Post->create();
        $this->Post->set($this->request->data);

        if ($this->Post->validates()) {
        // it validated logic
            if($this->Post->save($this->request->data)){
                $this->Session->setFlash('The posts was saved');
                $this->redirect('index');
            }
        } else {
            // didn't validate logic
            $errors = $this->Post->validationErrors;
        }       
    }
}
