الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he put on a new garment, would mention its name, be it a shirt or a turban. Then he would say: 'Alhamdulillahil-ladhi kasanithani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghairi hawlin minni wa la quwwah' (All praise is due to Allah, Who has clothed me with this and provided it for me, without any strength or power from myself).
