الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
All praise is due to Allah Who clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, without any strength or power from myself.

‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever wears a garment and says: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ (Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi kasani hadha-th-thawba wa-razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa-la quwwah.) He will be forgiven his past and future sins. And whoever wears a new garment and says: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ (Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi kasani hadha wa-razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa-la quwwah.) He will be forgiven his past and future sins. And whoever wears a new garment and says: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي مَا أُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتِي وَأَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي حَيَاتِي (Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi kasani ma uwaari bihi 'awrati wa atajammalu bihi fi hayati.) He will be forgiven his past and future sins, and will be granted rewards for his good deeds.
