عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمَيِّتُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا ، فَاجْتَمَعَ النِّسَاءُ ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقْنَ إِلَّا أَهْلَهَا وَخَاصَّتَهَا ، أَمَرَتْ بِبُرْمَةٍ مِنْ تَلْبِينَةٍ فَطُبِخَتْ ، ثُمَّ صُنِعَ ثَرِيدٌ فَصُبَّتْ التَّلْبِينَةُ عَلَيْهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : كُلْنَ مِنْهَا ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" التَّلْبِينَةُ مَجَمَّةٌ لِفُؤَادِ الْمَرِيضِ تَذْهَبُ بِبَعْضِ الْحُزْنِ " .
Urwah narrates that when someone from the family of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away, after the women of the congregation had left and only the women of her household remained, she would order a pot to be put on in which porridge was cooked. Then she would order for tharid to be prepared, and the porridge would be poured over the tharid. She would then say, "Eat it, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that porridge strengthens the heart of the sick and removes the effects of grief."
