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, though of My own strength and power I did not obtain it.
Alhamdulillahilladhi kasani hadhath thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah.
