Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have a specific phrase for congratulating people on 'Id al-Fitr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have a specific phrase for congratulating people on 'Id al-Fitr?

Answer:
As far as I know, no specific phrase for congratulating people on 'Id al-Fitr has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, this is something the people have adopted and become accustomed to, and it fosters connection among them, so there is good in it, if Allah wills. Yes. It is reported from Imam Ahmad that he said: I do not initiate this with anyone, but I respond to whoever initiates it with me. If he says, "May Allah accept from you," he says, "May Allah accept from us and from you."
