Talbina

Volume 7, Book 71, Number 593:
Narrated 'Ursa: Aisha رضى الله عنها used to recommend At-Talbina for the sick and for such a person as grieved over a dead person. She used to say, "I heard Allah's Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, 'At-Talbina gives rest to the heart of the patient and makes it active and relieves some of his sorrow and grief." [Bukhari]

Volume 7, Book 71, Number 594:
Narrated Hisham's father:
'Aisha رضى الله عنها used to recommend At-Talbina and used to say, "It is disliked (by the patient) although it is beneficial.'' [Bukhari]

'A'isha رضى الله عنها the wife of Allah's Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 (may peade be upon him) as saying: Talbina gives comfort to the aggrieved heart and it lessens grief. [Muslim]
