What to Say When you Wear Something New (164)

The Messenger of Allah

was such that if he newly acquired clothing he would name it by its name: either shirt, or turban, then, he would say: 'Allãhumma laka 'Al-hamdu 'anta kasawtaneehi 'as'aluka min khayrihi wa khayra mã suni`a, wa 'a`outhu bika min sharrihi wa sharri mã suni`a lahu ⁽¹⁸⁵⁾

Footnotes
