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]

Dua Two:

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيْهِ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهِ وَخَيْرِ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ

O Allah, to You alone belongs all praise. You have clothed me with this (new garment). I ask You for its good (that it may be a means of causing me to be grateful and recognizing Your favour upon me), and the good (benefits) for which it was made, and I seek Your protection from its evil (that it may be a means of me being ungrateful or haughty and proud) and the evil for which it was made (using it in an impermissible way).

Hazrat Abu Sa’eed Khudri (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would wear any new clothing, he would refer to the cloth by mentioning its name (e.g. a shawl or a turban), and then he would recite the following dua: [2]

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيْهِ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهِ وَخَيْرِ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ
