حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي الْخَصِيبِ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , عَنْ أَيْمَنَ بْنِ نَابِلٍ , عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ , يُقَالَ لَهَا كُلْثُمٌ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْبَغِيضِ النَّافِعِ التَّلْبِينَةِ " , يَعْنِي : الْحَسَاءَ , قَالَتْ : وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ , لَمْ تَزَلِ الْبُرْمَةُ عَلَى النَّارِ , حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ أَحَدُ طَرَفَيْهِ , يَعْنِي : يَبْرَأُ أَوْ يَمُوتُ .
´It was narrated from ‘Aishah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “You should eat the beneficial thing that is unpleasant to eat: Talbinah,” meaning broth. If any member of the family of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sick, the cooking pot would remain on the fire until one of two things happened, either the person recovered or died.

He has explained it as follows:
Hisa’ is that food which is made from flour, water, and oil.
Sometimes sweetness is also added to it, and sometimes honey; sometimes, instead of flour, bran is used.
This is called talbinah.
And in Hindi, it is known as harirah. (Translation of Sunan Ibn Majah, commentary on this hadith)
➌ In Feroz-ul-Lughat Urdu, the meaning of harirah is stated as follows:
A sweet and thick thing which is made by dissolving fine flour (maida) in sugar and cooking it.
