وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: قَالَ لِبَعْضِ مَوَالِيهِ يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ وَ هُوَ يَدْعُو لَهُ «يَا فُلاَنُ تَقَبَّلَ اَللَّهُ مِنْكَ وَ مِنَّا» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ حَتَّى كَانَ يَوْمُ اَلْأَضْحَى فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا فُلاَنُ تَقَبَّلَ اَللَّهُ مِنَّا وَ مِنْكَ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا اِبْنَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ قُلْتَ فِي اَلْفِطْرِ شَيْئاً وَ تَقُولُ فِي اَلْأَضْحَى شَيْئاً غَيْرَهُ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَهُ فِي اَلْفِطْرِ تَقَبَّلَ اَللَّهُ مِنْكَ وَ مِنَّا لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ فِعْلِي وَ اِسْتَوَيْتُ أَنَا وَ هُوَ فِي اَلْفِعْلِ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فِي اَلْأَضْحَى تَقَبَّلَ اَللَّهُ مِنَّا وَ مِنْكَ لِأَنَّا يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نُضَحِّيَ وَ لاَ يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَقَدْ فَعَلْنَا غَيْرَ فِعْلِهِ».
It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Al-Fudhayl, from Al-Ridha عليه السلام, who said: "Imam عليه السلام said to one of his companions on the Day of Eid al-Fitr while supplicating for him: 'O so-and-so, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from you and from us.' Then, on the Day of Eid al-Adha, Imam عليه السلام said to him: 'O so-and-so, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from us and from you.' I asked Imam عليه السلام: 'O son of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, on Eid al-Fitr you said something, and on Eid al-Adha you said something different. Why?' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'Yes, I said to him on Eid al-Fitr, "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from you and from us," because he did the same as I did, and our actions were the same. But on Eid al-Adha, I said to him, "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from us and from you," because we are able to offer a sacrifice, whereas he is not able to do so. Thus, our actions differed.'"
