عَنْ أَبِي مَطَرٍ أَيْضًا أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَتَى غُلَامًا حَدَثًا فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ قَمِيصًا بِثَلَاثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَلَبِسَهُ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ الرُّسْغَيْنِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ يَقُولُ وَلَبِسَهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي مِنَ الرِّيَاشِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ وَأُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتِي فَقِيلَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ تَرْوِيهِ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ أَوْ عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ الْكُسْوَةِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي مِنَ الرِّيَاشِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ وَأُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتِي
It is narrated from Abu Matar that he saw Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who was still a young boy at the time. He bought a shirt for three dirhams. When he wore it from the shoulders to the ankles, he recited this supplication: "All praise is due to Allah, Who has provided me with fine clothing by which I adorn myself among people and with which I cover my private parts." When he was asked whether he was reciting this supplication from himself or narrating it from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he replied: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite this supplication when wearing clothes: "All praise is due to Allah, Who has provided me with fine clothing by which I adorn myself among people and with which I cover my private parts."
