    اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيهِ، أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهِ وَخَيْرِ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ

    Allahumma lakal-hamdu anta kasawtaneeh, as-aluka min khayrihi wakhayri ma suni'a lah, wa-a'oothu bika min sharrihi washarri ma suni'a lah.

    O Allah, to You belongs all praise; You have clothed me with it. I ask You for its good and the good it was made for, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil it was made for.
