الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
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.
Al-hamdulillah alladhi kasani hadha ath-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah
When to Read

How to Read
Recite this sincerely with an understanding of its meaning. Acknowledge that Allah is the true source of all provisions and blessings, including the clothes you wear. It's typically recited after the garment is fully on, as it thanks Allah for the provision of that specific item.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua is more than just words; it’s a declaration of reliance on Allah (Tawakkul).

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever wears a garment and says: Al-hamdulillah alladhi kasani hadha ath-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni 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 of his past sins will be forgiven." It was also narrated from Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "When the Prophet (peace be upon him) acquired a new garment, he would mention its name (e.g. a turban or a shirt), then he would say: Al-hamdulillah alladhi kafani wa awani (All praise is due to Allah who sufficed me and gave me shelter). Then he would say: A'udhu billahi min sharrihi (I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of it)."
