What a man says in supplication, as he is commanded, when he puts on a new garment

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) put on a new garment and recited this supplication: "Thanks be to Allah who has clothed me with that by which I cover my private parts and by which I adorn myself in my life." Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever puts on a new garment and recites this supplication: 'Thanks be to Allah who has clothed me with that by which I cover my private parts and by which I adorn myself in my life,' and then gives in charity the old garment that has worn out, or he said: that he has put away, he will remain, in life and after death, in the protection of Allah, in His care, and in His concealment." He said this three times.

Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you puts on a new garment, let him supplicate thus: 'Thanks be to Allah who has clothed me with that by which I cover my private parts and by which I adorn myself among people.'"

A man from the tribe of Muzaynah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wearing a washed garment and said: "Are these clothes of yours new?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they are washed." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wear new clothes, live a praiseworthy life, and die as a martyr, and may Allah grant you the coolness of the eyes in this world and the Hereafter."

Mansur said that Salim bin Abi al-Ja'd said: "When a person puts on a new garment and supplicates thus: 'O Allah, make these clothes blessed, in which I may give thanks for Your blessings, in which I may worship You well, and in which I may act in obedience to You,' this supplication does not even reach his throat before Allah Almighty forgives him."

Mis'ar said that Awn bin Abdullah said: "A man put on a new garment and thanked Allah, and he was admitted to Paradise," or he said: "he was forgiven." Then a man said to him: "I will not return to my family until I have put on a new garment and thanked Allah for it."

Abu Nadrah said: When the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw someone wearing a new garment, they would supplicate for him thus: "Wear it and wear it out, and may Allah give you more."

Abu Nadrah said that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put on a new garment, he would call it by its name, whether it was a shirt, a waist-wrap or a turban, and would supplicate thus: "O Allah, to You alone belongs thanks, for You have clothed me with this garment. I ask You for its good and the good of that for which it was made, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of that for which it was made."
