Whenever someone from her family died and the women gathered for the mourning and then dispersed, leaving only her family and close companions, she would order a pot of talbinah to be cooked. Then tharid would be prepared, and the talbinah would be poured over it. She would then say, "Eat some of it, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Talbinah soothes the heart of the sick and takes away some of the grief.'"
أنها كانت إذا مات الميت من أهلها، فاجتمع لذلك النساء، ثم تفرقن- إلا أهلها وخاصتها- أمرت ببرمة من تلبينة فطبخت، ثم صنع ثريد، فصبت التلبينة عليها، ثم قالت: كلن منها، فإني سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: التلبينة محمة لفؤاد المريض، تذهب بعض الحزن.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Foods (5417), and Muslim in the Book of Greetings (2216), both from the hadith of Aqeel bin Khalid, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwa, from Ayesha, as mentioned.Talbinah is a broth made of flour or bran. They said, sometimes honey was added to it. Harawi and others said, it was called talbinah because it resembles milk in its whiteness and thinness.And "majjah" (with fatha on the meem and jeem) means it rests the heart, removes worry from it, and invigorates it.
