Leaving Bathroom
Hasan HadithSunan Ibn Majah 335

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذَاقَنِي لَذَّتَهُ وَأَبْقَانِي صِحَّةً فِي نَفْسِي وَعَافِيَةً فِي جَسَدِي وَأَذِنَ لِي بِذِكْرِهِ

All praise is for Allah, Who gave me its taste and kept me healthy in my soul, and well-being in my body, and allowed me to remember Him.

Alhamdulillah alladhi adhaqani ladhdatahu wa abqani sihhhatun fi nafsi wa 'afiyatin fi jasadi wa adhina li bidhikrih
