باب التَّلْبِينَةُ مَجَمَّةٌ لِفُؤَادِ الْمَرِيضِ:Chapter: Talbinah Gives Comfort To The Sick Person
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمَيِّتُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَاجْتَمَعَ لِذَلِكَ النِّسَاءُ ، ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقْنَ إِلَّا أَهْلَهَا وَخَاصَّتَهَا أَمَرَتْ بِبُرْمَةٍ مِنْ تَلْبِينَةٍ ، فَطُبِخَتْ ثُمَّ صُنِعَ ثَرِيدٌ ، فَصُبَّتِ التَّلْبِينَةُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ ، قَالَتْ : كُلْنَ مِنْهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " التَّلْبِينَةُ مُجِمَّةٌ لِفُؤَادِ الْمَرِيضِ تُذْهِبُ بَعْضَ الْحُزْنِ " .
'A'isha the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: When there was any bereavement in her family the women gathered there for condolence and they departed except the members of the family and some selected persons. She asked to prepare talbina in a small couldron and it was cooked and then tharid was prepared and it was poured over talbina, then she said: Eat it, for I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Talbina gives comfort to the aggrieved heart and it lessens grief.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Talbinah:
It is a thin porridge prepared from flour or fine flour or bran and honey, and according to some, milk is also added to it. For this reason, it is called talbinah (milk-colored).
(2)
Majammah or Mujammah:
In the first form, "jamma yajim" is a verbal noun (masdar mimi) and is in the meaning of an active participle (ism fa'il), and in the second form, it is the active participle form derived from "ijmam."
(3)
Jamm:
And the meaning of "ijmam" is to bring comfort and tranquility, that is, it grants relief to the heart of the patient and removes sorrow and grief.
Benefits and Issues:
Sometimes, certain humors dominate in the patient's stomach, due to which dryness occurs in the organs and stomach of the distressed person—that is, a kind of dryness is produced. Especially, due to the lack of food, the stomach is affected. Porridge (harirah) provides moisture, nourishment, and strength for such a person, because it cleanses the stomach. Therefore, it also becomes a source of comfort and tranquility for the heart of the patient. For this reason, there is a narration in Sunan al-Nasa'i: "Talbinah washes your stomach just as you wash dirt from your face with water."

Talbinah is made from flour and milk, or from bran and milk. Honey is also added to it, and when pieces of bread are cooked in meat broth, it is called tharid. Sometimes, meat is also included in it.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
Due to a lack of nourishment, dryness in the limbs increases, especially in the stomach, and because of this dryness, the heart of a sorrowful person becomes weak.
The prescription mentioned in the hadith makes the stomach moist and strong.
It removes sorrow and brings comfort to the heart.
This is beneficial when it is soft, thin, and well-cooked; if it is thick or not properly cooked, it does not possess the aforementioned quality.
And Allah knows best.
