Whenever someone from her family died and the women gathered for that occasion and then dispersed, leaving only her family and close ones, 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 person and takes away some of the grief.'"
أنها كانت إذا مات الميت من أهلها، فاجتمع لذلك النساء، ثم تفرقن إلا أهلها وخاصتها، أمرت بيرمة من تلبينة فطبخت، ثم صنع ثريد، فصبت التلبينة عليها، ثم قالت: كلن منها فإني سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: التلبينة مجمة لفؤاد المريض، تذهب ببعض الحزن.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Foods (5417), and Muslim narrated it in the Book of Greetings (2216), both through Layth bin Saad, who said, Aqeel bin Khalid told me, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwa, from Ayesha, who said, and then she mentioned it.His saying, "talbinah," also pronounced "talbin," is a broth made from flour or bran, sometimes with honey added to it. It was named this by analogy to milk, because of its whiteness and thinness.His saying, "mujimma," means restful, and jimam, with a kasrah on the jim, means rest.
