Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a new garment, he would mention its name, whether it was a shirt or a turban, and then say: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ (Alhamdulillah alladhi kasani hadha ath-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwatin). And when his garment became old, he would wear it until it was worn out, and then he would put it on, and then he would fold it, and then he would put it away. (Sunan Abu Dawud 4023, Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1767. Tirmidhi said: 'Hasan Gharib'. It is also narrated from Abu Umamah and Mu'adh bin Anas.)
