125 - Chapter on what is said upon wearing new clothing, shoes, or the like

813/1 - Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “When the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) had a new item of clothes, he used to mention it by its name: a turban, shirt, or upper garment, and would then say: “O Allah, praise be to You; You clothed me therewith. I ask You for its good and the good for which it was made; and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil for which it was made.”

[Narrated by Abu Dāwūd and Al-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hasan (sound)]

Guidance from the Hadīth:

1) It is recommended to call an item of clothing by its name and say supplication upon wearing it. This was the Prophet’s practice.

2) Showing gratitude to Allah Almighty under every circumstance. This is complete servitude to the Bestower of favors. Anything a person has is but a favor from his Lord.

3) It contains the Prophetic instruction that we should ask Allah Almighty for the good in things we use and seek refuge with Him from the evil in them.
