Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ wore a new garment, he would mention its name, e.g., a shirt or a turban, 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). He would then say: Whatsoever of the servant’s wealth is forgiven him, is forgiven him for the sake of my thanks to Allah. (Sunan Abi Dawud 4023)
