اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا ورَبَّ كُلِّ شَيءٍ أنا شَهيدٌ أنَّكَ أنتَ الرَّبُّ وحْدَكَ لا شَريكَ لَكَ. اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا ورَبَّ كُلِّ شَيءٍ أنَا شَهيدٌ أنَّ مُحمَّداً عَبْدُكَ ورَسُولُكَ. اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنا ورَبَّ كُلِّ شيءٍ اجْعَلْنِي مُخْلِصاً لكَ واهْلي في كُلِّ ساعَةٍ في الدُّنْيا والآخِرَةٍ ياذا الجَلالِ والإكْرامِ، اسمَعْ واسْتَجِبْ الله أكُبَرُ، الأكْبَرُ، حَسبيَ الله ونِعْمَ الوكيلُ، الله أكْبَرُ، الأكْبَرُ

THAREED (Lamb soup with Barley Bread)

We have checked many Hadith in Shamail Tirmizi & we have come to the opinion that the bread mostly consumed by Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam & his family was BARLEY BREAD. When it is combined with meat, Thareed becomes the superior most food of this world. Virtue of Thareed over other foods is compared with the virtue of Aisha Radi Allaho Anha over other women. We have seen that some people prepare Thareed with wheat bread, but it never provides the healing results as exhibited by Thareed made with barley bread.

ثريد : ثبت في الصحيحين عنه ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أنه قال‏:‏ ‏(‏فضل عائشة على النساء كفضل الثريد على سائر الطعام‏)‏‏.‏ والثريد وإن كان مركبًا، فإنه مركب من خبز ولحم، فالخبز أفضل الأقوات، واللحم سيد الإدام، فإذا اجتمعا لم يكن بعدهما غاية‏.‏ وتنازع الناس أيهما أفضل‏؟‏ والصواب أن الحاجة إلى الخبز أكثر وأعم، واللحم أجل وأفضل، وهو أشبه بجوهر البدن من كل ما عداه، وهو طعام أهل الجنة، وقد قال تعالى لمن طلب البقل، والقثاء، والفوم، والعدس، والبصل‏:‏ ‏‏أتستبدلون الذي هو أدنى بالذي هو خير‏‏ ‏[‏البقرة‏:‏ 62‏]‏، وكثير من السلف على أن الفوم الحنطة، وعلى هذا فالآية نص على أن اللحم خير من الحنطة‏.‏

In both Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, it is authentically reported that the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The virtue of Aishah over other women is like the virtue of Thareed (a dish of Barley bread and meat) over all other foods." Thareed, although a composite dish, is made from Barley bread and meat; bread is considered the best of staple foods, and meat is the master of side dishes. When combined, there is no comparison to it.

People have debated over which is superior, bread or meat. The correct view is that bread is more necessary and widely consumed, while meat is more distinguished and superior, bearing a closer resemblance to the essence of the human body than any other food. Moreover, meat is the food of the people in Paradise. Allah (Exalted is He) also rebuked those who asked for herbs, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions, saying,

‏‏أتستبدلون الذي هو أدنى بالذي هو خير‏ (‏البقرة‏:‏ 62‏)

 "Do you exchange that which is better for that which is lesser?" [Quran, Al-Baqarah: 61]. Many early scholars believed that "fawm" (فوم) in the verse refers to wheat, and based on this interpretation, the verse explicitly states that meat is superior to wheat.

Some people think that Thareed is any food in which any kind of bread is dipped in meat curry, & they use wheat bread for this purpose, but this concept is entirely wrong, THAREED was never made by wheat bread, & the meat curry was not cooked as our spicy curries, simple / boiled lamb soup (Yakhni type) in which Barley bread is dipped is the true definition of Thareed.
