Prophetic Supplications: When Wearing New Clothes

When Wearing New Clothes

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) taught me this supplication when wearing new clothes:

الْحَمْدُ للَّهِِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي مِنَ اللِّبَاسِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ.

 اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا ثِيَابَ بَرَكَةٍ أَسْعَى فِيهَا لِمَرْضَاتِكَ وَ أَعْمُرُ فِيهَا مَسَاجِدَكَ . 

All Praise belong to Allah, the One who dressed me up of clothe by which I beautify myself amongst the people. O Allah, make this garment full of blessings, with which I strive to attain Your pleasure and build Your Mosques.   

The Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) added that: Dear Ali, one who recites this supplication will not wear these clothes anywhere but that Allah’s mercy and blessings cover him.
