“If any of his family members became ill, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would order that some broth be made. And he would say: ‘It consoles the grieving heart and cleanses the ailing heart, as anyone of you cleanses her face of dirt with water.’”  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ أَهْلَهُ الْوَعْكُ أَمَرَ بِالْحَسَاءِ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ لَيَرْتُو فُؤَادَ الْحَزِينِ وَيَسْرُو عَنْ فُؤَادِ السَّقِيمِ كَمَا تَسْرُو إِحْدَاكُنَّ الْوَسَخَ عَنْ وَجْهِهَا بِالْمَاءِ  

“You should eat the beneficial thing that is unpleasant to eat: Talbinah,” meaning broth. If any member of the family of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sick, the cooking pot would remain on the fire until one of two things happened, either the person recovered or died.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْبَغِيضِ النَّافِعِ التَّلْبِينَةِ يَعْنِي الْحَسَاءَ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اشْتَكَى أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ لَمْ تَزَلِ الْبُرْمَةُ عَلَى النَّارِ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ أَحَدُ طَرَفَيْهِ يَعْنِي يَبْرَأُ أَوْ يَمُوتُ
