عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمَيِّتُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، فَاجْتَمَعَ النِّسَاءُ، ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقْنَ إِلَّا أَهْلَهُ وَخَاصَّتَهُ، أَمَرَتْ بِبُرْمَةٍ مِنْ تَلْبِينَةٍ فَطُبِخَتْ، ثُمَّ صُنِعَ ثَرِيدٌ، فَصُبَّتِ التَّلْبِينَةُ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: كُلْنَ مِنْهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((التَّلْبِينَةُ مُجِمَّةٌ لِفُؤَادِ الْمَرِيضِ، تَذْهَبُ بِبَعْضِ الْحُزْنِ))
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.
