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, though I had no power or strength from myself.

Virtues & Benefits
This dua teaches us humility and gratitude. By attributing the provision of clothing to Allah, we acknowledge that no worldly possession or comfort is truly ours; it is all a gift from Him.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: When any one of you performs ablution and then says: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger. O Allah, make me among the repentant, and make me among the purified,' then eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, and he may enter from whichever gate he wishes. And when he puts on a garment, he should say: 'All praise is due to Allah Who clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, though I had no power or strength from myself.' And when he removes his garment, he should say: 'In the name of Allah.'
