Urwah narrates: When someone from the family of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away and women would gather, and after they had left, only a few specific women would remain, she would order that talbina be cooked in a pot. So it would be prepared, then tharid would be made and talbina poured over it. Then she would say: O women! Eat from this, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Talbina brings comfort to the heart of the sick and to some extent lightens grief.
