Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a new garment, he would mention its name (e.g., a turban or a shirt), 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 quwwah). Then, he would say: 'U'aybu bnu 'Umayr said: 'My father told me that he asked about the meaning of 'ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah' (without any strength or power on my part). He replied: 'I did not obtain the strength to make it, nor the strength to carry it, except by Allah.' (Sunan Abi Dawud 4024)
