22. When wearing new clothing, recite the following duas:

Dua One:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ كَسَانِيْ مَا أُوَارِيْ بِهِ عَوْرَتِيْ وَأَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِيْ حَيَاتِيْ

All praise is due to Allah who has clothed me with such clothing through which I am able to conceal my private parts, and through which I am able to beautify myself in my life.

Hazrat Abu Umaamah (rahimahullah) reports that on one occasion, Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wore a new garment and recited the abovementioned dua. He then gave his old garment in charity and said, “I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saying, ‘Whoever wears a new garment and recites the (abovementioned) dua, and then he takes his old garment and gives it in sadaqah, he will remain in the special protection, security and cover of Allah Ta‘ala while living and after passing away.’” ^[1]
