About this dua
Abu Sa’id reported that when the Prophet ﷺ put on a new garment, he would name it (a turban, a shirt or a cloak) and then say this dua (Jami at-Tirmidhi 1767, graded hasan).
It turns something ordinary into worship: thanks for the gift, and a request that it is used for good. On Eid morning it is the perfect time to say it.
