Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: When Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to wear a new garment, he would mention its name (e.g., a shirt or a cloak) and then say: 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 on my part). [Sunan Abi Dawud 4023, graded Hasan by Al-Albani]. The version in Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1767 is similar: Narrated Mu'adh bin Anas: The Prophet ﷺ said: 'If any of you puts on a garment and says: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا وَعَافَانِي... (All praise is due to Allah Who has clothed me with this and protected me...) then all his past sins are forgiven.'
