Likutei Moharan 58:6/ליקוטי מוהר"ן נ״ח:ו׳

או וְזֶה שֶׁהֶחָכָם מַשְׁפִּיעַ לֶחֶם מִשְׁנֶה הַנַּ"ל, כִּי עַל־יְדֵי זְכוּתוֹ זָכָה גַּם כֵּן לְחֵלֶק חֲבֵרוֹ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ חֲכָמֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (חגיגה טו): זָכָה – נוֹטֵל חֶלְקוֹ וְחֵלֶק חֲבֵרוֹ. וּכְשֶׁבָּא יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת, וְנַפְשׁוֹ נִכְלֶלֶת בַּשַּׁבָּת, בִּבְחִינַת: כִּי בוֹ שָׁבַת וַיִּנָּפַשׁ (שמות ל״א:י״ז), אֲזַי נוֹתֵן לֶחֶם מִשְׁנֶה לְיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת כַּנַּ"ל:
