وَ رَوَى حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يَا عَبْدَ اَللَّهِ مَا مِنْ عِيدٍ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَضْحًى وَ لاَ فِطْرٍ إِلاَّ وَ هُوَ يُجَدَّدُ لآِلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِيهِ حُزْنٌ» قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ قَالَ «لِأَنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ حَقَّهُمْ فِي يَدِ غَيْرِهِمْ.
It is narrated from Hanan ibn Sudair, from Abdullah ibn Dinar, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, who said: "O Abdullah, there is no Eid for the Muslims, whether Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr, except that it brings renewed sorrow to the family of Muhammad." I asked: "Why is that?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Because they see their right in the hands of others."
