4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ مَوَالِيهِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو لَهُ يَا فُلانُ تَقَبَّلَ الله مِنْكَ وَمِنَّا ثُمَّ أَقَامَ حَتَّى كَانَ يَوْمُ الأَضْحَى فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا فُلانُ تَقَبَّلَ الله مِنَّا وَمِنْكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ الله قُلْتَ فِي الْفِطْرِ شَيْئاً وَتَقُولُ فِي الأَضْحَى غَيْرَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَهُ فِي الْفِطْرِ تَقَبَّلَ الله مِنْكَ وَمِنَّا لأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ فِعْلِي وَتَأَسَّيْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ فِي الْفِعْلِ وَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي الأَضْحَى تَقَبَّلَ الله مِنَّا وَمِنْكَ لأَنَّهُ يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نُضَحِّيَ وَلا يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَقَدْ فَعَلْنَا نَحْنُ غَيْرَ فِعْلِهِ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Ja’fariy from Muhammad ibn al-Fadl who has said the following: “Once al-Rida , on the day of al-Fitr said to a certain individual of his servants, while praying for him. ‘O so and so, (I pray) may Allah accept from you and from us.’ Then it was the day of al-Adha’ and he (the Imam) said to him, ‘O so and so, may Allah accept from us and from you.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘O child of the Messenger of Allah, why is it that on the day of al-Fitr you said to him something different from what you said to him on the day of al-Adha?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘What I said on the day of al-Fitr was because we both had done the same deed in equal form, but on the day of al-Adha’ we were able to offer a sacrifice, but he was unable to do so, thus we did something different from what he did.’”
