Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: When one of you performs Wudu and then says: 'Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasooluh' (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger), then the entire Wudu will be written in a scroll, sealed with a seal, and it will not be opened until the Day of Resurrection. And when one of you puts on a garment and says: 'Alhamdulillahilladhee kasanee hadhath thawba wa razaqanīhi min ghayri hawlin minnee wa la quwwah' (All praise is due to Allah Who has clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, without any strength or power from myself), then all the sins that he committed before that were forgiven. (Sunan Abi Dawud 4023, graded Hasan by some scholars, and similar narration in Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1767, graded Sahih).
