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

Source & Authentication
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudree that when Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to wear a new garment, he would mention its name (like a turban, a shirt, or a cloak) 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) 'All praise is for Allah Who has clothed me this garment and provided it for me without any strength or power from myself.' And when he removed a garment, he would say: اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنِي وَزِدْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ (Allahumma zidni wa zidni min fadlik) 'O Allah, grant me more and increase me from Your bounty.'
