Praise be to Allaah. Talbeenah is mentioned in a number of saheeh ahaadeeth such as the following: (a) It was narrated from ‘Aa'ishah the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that if a member of her family died the women would gather together then they would depart except her own relatives and close friends. She would order that a pot of talbeenah be cooked then some thareed would be made and the talbeenah would be poured over it. Then she would say: Eat some of it for I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Talbeenah soothes the of the sick person and it takes away some of the grief.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari 5101; Muslim 2216.
