Salaamaleykum.... here are some foods mentioned in the Hadith....

Tharid

The Prophet Muhammad liked tharid so much that he compared it to his beloved wife Aisha.

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari:

The Prophet said, "Many men reached perfection but none among the women reached perfection except Mary, the daughter of ' Imran, and Asia, Pharoah's wife. And the superiority of 'Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food.

This recipe is adapted from a 13th century Andalusian cookbook. Soaking Overnight Total second-day time 2 hours

Meat is boiled and bread is moistened with the broth. Yoghurt, garlic and mint are put with it and the meat is put with it. Likewise there is a tharid without meat.

1 1/4 c meat or chicken

2 c water

4 slices bread

1/2 c yogurt

5 small cloves garlic

8 sprigs mint (leaves only)

Cut meat into bite-sized pieces and boil in water about 30-40 minutes, by which time the broth is down to about one cup. Crush bread into broth. Chop garlic and mint, and add them and the yogurt to the bread mixture; serve this sauce over meat.

Lamb or Chicken or Beef & Chickpea Stew

 3 cups chickpeas 3 lbs. lamb,or chicken or beef cut into bite-sized cubes

8 cups water

6 cups finely chopped onion

2 tsp. ground coriander

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh coriander

2 tsp. caraway seeds

2 tsp. pepper

6 eggs

1 tbsp. salt

1/2 tsp. saffron in 2 tbsp. water

1/2 cup honey

Enough stale bread for 2 cups of crumbs

6 rounds pita bread, quartered

Put the chickpeas into a large bowl, cover them with cold water and let soak overnight. The next day, drain the chickpeas and set them aside. Put the meat into a large stew pot and cover it with cold water. Bring to a boil and skim off the foam that rises to the top. Add the chickpeas, onion, ground and fresh coriander, caraway seeds and pepper; return to a boil, then reduce the heat. Break the eggs directly into the pot so that they will poach along with the stew. Let the stew cook for an hour to an hour and a half, until the chickpeas are done and the meat is tender, add salt and saffron, then remove 1/2 cup of broth from the pot, mix it together with the honey, and pour it back into the pot. Return to a boil and boil vigorously for 3 minutes. Put the pita wedges in the bottom of the serving bowl and pour the tharid over them; or serve the pita wedges alongside the tharid and so that guests may put a few in the bottom of an individual soup bowl, then spoon the stew over the bread.


Talbina

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) that whenever one of her relatives died, the women assembled and then dispersed (returned to their houses) except her relatives and close friends. She would order that a pot of Talbina be cooked. Then Tharid (a dish prepared from meat and bread) would be prepared and the Talbina would be poured on it. 'Aisha would say (to the women),"Eat of it, for I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'The Talbina soothes the heart of the patient and relieves him from some of his sadness.' "

“The Talbina”: is a  meal made by mixing 2 spoons of  barley and a cup of water, cooked for 5 min, after that a cup of yogurt and bee’s honey is added, it is called Talbina which comes from the Arabic Word Laban meaning yogurt because of its resemblances to the yogurt, as it is soft and white. And aicha said that the prophet peace be upon him has advised us to use it as a medicine, as he said.
