Riyad as-Salihin, 812

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wore a new garment, he would name it. For instance, a turban, shirt, or cloak and would supplicate: "Allahumma lakal-hamdu, Anta kasautanihi, as`aluka khairahu wa khaira ma suni`a lahu, wa a`udhu bika min sharrihi wa sharri ma suni`a lahu (O Allah, all the praise is for You that You have given it to me to put on. I ask You its goodness and the goodness of the purpose for which it was made, and I seek Your Protection from its evil and the evil of the purpose for which it was made).'' [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

عن أبى سعيد الخدرى رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا استجد ثوباً سماه باسمه -عمامة، أو قميصاً، أو رداء -يقول‏:‏ ‏

‏ اللهم لك الحمد أنت كسوتنيه، أسألك خيره وخير ما صنع له، وأعوذ بك من شره وشر ما صنع له‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود، والترمذى وقال‏:‏حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 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.
