My boss gave me credit for a project on which a colleague did most of the work. Should i accept the praise?

Some times we are face with a situation where even though we really had nothing to do with what happened or was accomplished, we are tempted to take the credit for it. Being the kind of person i am (not that whoever is reading this really knows me, so it may be hard to believe) there is no way that i would take credit for something i didn’t do, at least not on purpose.

I say “not on purpose” because some times when you are in a fast pace or confusing environment, you may take the credit just because, there was no time to respond to it or some times, no one even told you that you where given credit for it.
