The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: When a man wears a new garment, he should say: Alhamdulillah alladhi kafani wa 'azani minhu (All praise is due to Allah, who sufficed me and gave me to wear of it). Then he should say: Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi kasani hadha-th-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwatin (All praise is due to Allah, who clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, without any strength or power from myself).
