the messenger of allah commanded us to perform talbīn and said there is a blessing in it. he also said if anything could repel death talbīn would repel it. he also used to say use what is hateful and beneficial for it cleanses the stomach of one of you from illness just as one of you washes his face with water to remove dirt. and if one of his family members was ill he would not leave the house until he had reached one of its two ends.
أمر رسول الله بالتلبين وقال فيه بركة وقال ولو رد الموت شيء لرده التلبين . وكان يقول عليكم بالبغيض النافع فإنه يغسل بطن أحدكم من الداء كما يغسل أحدكم وجهه بالماء من الوسخ . وكان إذا اشتكى أحد من أهله لا ينزل برمته حتى يأتي على أحد طرفيه.
