Wonderful article I received today:
Talbina
compiled and translated by Abdulilah Lahmami -may Allaah bless him-
Aisha (may Allaah be pleased with her) used to recommend talbina for the sick and for one who was grieving over a dead person. She (may Allaah be pleased with her) said, "I heard the Messenger (Sallallaahu ýlayhi Wasallam) saying, ' The talbina gives rest to the heart of the patient and makes it active and relieves some of his sorrow and grief.' " [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5325)].
Aisha (may Allaah be pleased with her) said that whenever one of her relatives died, the women assembled and then dispersed (returned to their houses) except her relatives and close friends. She (may Allaah be pleased with her) 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 over it. Aisha (may Allaah be pleased with her) would say (to the women), "Eat of it, for I heard the Messenger (Sallallaahu ýlayhi Wasallam) saying, 'The talbina soothes the heart of the patient and relieves him from some of his sadness.' " [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5058)].
Hisham's father (may Allaah be pleased with them) said, "Aisha (may Allaah be pleased with her) used to recommend talbina and used to say,'It is disliked (by the patient) although it is beneficial.' ' [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5326)].
The Messenger (Sallallaahu ýlayhi Wasallam) said, "I encourage you to use that which is disliked but beneficial (Talbina) for by the One whose hand Muhammad's soul is in, it cleans the stomach of one of you just as dirt is cleaned from the face with water." [Mustadrak of Haakim (7455), Saheeh as Dhahabi mentioned in 'Talkhees' taken from Maktaba Shaamilah, See also Mustadrak (8245) whose chain is upon the condition of Bukhaaree as Dhahabi mentioned]. (*)
Aisha (may Allaah be pleased with her) narrated, "If any of the Messenger's (Sallallaahu ýlayhi Wasallam) family became ill, the Messenger (Sallallaahu ýlayhi Wasallam) would say, 'It (talbina) soothes the grieving heart and cleanses the ailing heart just as one of you cleans dirt off his face with water.' " [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3445), hadeeth hasan].
Aishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) narrated that the Messenger (Sallallaahu ýlayhi Wasallam) said, "You should eat the beneficial thing that is unpleasant to eat (Talbina), meaning broth. If any member of the Messenger of Allaah's family was sick, the cooking pot would remain on the fire until one of two things happened, either the person recovered or died." [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3446) hadeeth hasan].

Recipe
Talbina is made by adding 1-2 tablespoons of barley flour (must be 100% wholegrain barley flour) to one and a half cups of water. Place on low heat for 10-15 minutes (optional: add milk or yoghurt and sweeten with honey). This may also be used as a food thickener for gravy, soups, dishes etc.
Alternatively you may add 1-2 tablespoons of barley flour (must be 100% wholegrain barley flour) to one and a half cups of milk. Place on low heat for 10-15 minutes (optional: add water or yoghurt and sweeten with honey).
The Talbina mixture may then be put in the blender with fresh or frozen fruits and/or ground flax seeds. etc It may be blended together to make a tasty talbina 'smoothie'.
Drink at least one cup daily.

1. Masjid Sunnah, Cranford

2. Markaz Muaadh, Slough

(*) NOTE (by Moosaa - may Allaah excuse him): the mention of "cleansing the stomach" is munkar (unauthentic and contradictory), since al-Haakim's chain is weak, having two narrators (Faatimah bint al-Munthir and Umm Kulthoom) whose reliability was not established, while what is auhentic is that talbeenah affects the heart not the stomach, and Allaah knows best. Refer to Shaykh Muqbil's "tatabbu' Owhaam al-Haakim" (#7532, 4/328, Daar al-Haramayn)
