The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: When a man puts on a new garment, he should say: Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi kasani hadha ath-thawba wa-razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwatin (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). And when a man takes off a new garment, he should say: Allahumma lakal-hamdu anta kasawtanihi, as'aluka min khayrihi wa khayri ma suni'a lah, wa a'udhu bika min sharrihi wa sharri ma suni'a lah (O Allah, to You be all praise. You have clothed me with it. I ask You for its good and the good of what it was made for, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what it was made for).
