Al-Muthallathah (Preparation of three Kinds of Grains) Al-Hasa’ Flour Cooked with Oil Sweet or without

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), once asked, ‘What do you feed your family in winter?’ I replied, ‘I feed them meat, if there is no meat then it is oil and ghee.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘What prevents you from using for food this al-Kar kur which is the most palatable for the body, that is, the tri-mixture.’ Certain persons of our people informed me that this mixture consists of one-third rice, one-third beans and one-third kidney beans or other grains, which then are mixed together and cooked.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘al-Talbiyn (white flour cooked with oil that looks like milk) clears the sad heart, just as fingers wipe perspiration from the forehead.’”

the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘If anything can help one against death it can only be al- Talbinah.’ It was asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is al-Talbinah?’ ‘It is al-Hasa’ (flour cooked with oil, sweet or without sweet) with milk, it is al-Hasa’ with milk,’ he (the Messenger of Allah) repeated it three times.’ “Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Shammun from al-Asamm from Misma‘ ibn ‘Abd al-Malik from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), a similar Hadith.”
