Volume 7, Book 65, Number 328:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that whenever one of her relatives died, the women assembled and then
dispersed (returned to their houses) except her relatives and close friends. She would order that a pot
of Talbina be cooked. Then Tharid (a dish prepared from meat and bread) would be prepared and
the Talbina would be poured on it. ‘Aisha would say (to the women),”Eat of it, for I heard Allah’s
Apostle saying, ‘The Talbina soothes the heart of the patient and relieves him from some of his sad –
ness.’ “
