وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَوْ أَغْنَى عَنِ الْمَوْتِ شَيْ‏ءٌ لَأَغْنَتِ التَّلْبِينَةُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا التَّلْبِينَةُ قَالَ الْحَسْوُ بِاللَّبَنِ الْحَسْوُ بِاللَّبَنِ وَ كَرَّرَهَا ثَلَاثاً .

3. It is narrated from abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who has said that 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, a similar Hadith.”
