Dua to Read When Buying Something New

· 2 Ramadan 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I wanted to find out is there anything specific to read when one bought something new.

Answer

‌اللَّهُمَّ ‌إِنِّي ‌أَسْأَلُكَ ‌خَيْرَهَا ‌وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ

Translation: “O Allah, I ask You for the good in her (or whatever is bought), and in the disposition You have given her: I take refuge in You from the evil in her, and in the disposition You have given her”

If someone buys new clothes, before wearing it he/she should read the following Dua:

‌اللهم لكَ الحمدُ، ‌أنتَ ‌كسَوْتَنِيهِ، أسالُكَ مِن خَيرِه، وخَيرِ ما صُنِع له، وأعُوذُ بِك مِنْ شرِّهِ، وشرِّ ما صُنِعَ له

Translation: “O Allah, all praise is for You. You have clothed me, I ask you for its goodness and the goodness what it has been made for, and I seek Your protection from the evil of it and the evil what it has been made for”

حدَّثنا عمرو بنُ عَونٍ، أخبرنا ابن المبارَكِ، عن الجُريري، عن أبي نَضرَةَ عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: كان رسولُ الله – صلَّى الله عليه وسلم – ِ إذا استجدّ ثوباً سمَّاه باسمه: إما قميصاً أو عِمامةً، ثم يقول: “اللهم لكَ الحمدُ، ‌أنتَ ‌كسَوْتَنِيهِ، أسالُكَ مِن خَيرِه، وخَيرِ ما صُنِع له، وأعُوذُ بِك مِنْ شرِّهِ، وشرِّ ما صُنِعَ له” قال أبو نضرة: وكان أصحابُ النبي – صلَّى الله عليه وسلم – إذا لبس أحدُهم ثوباً جديداً قيل له: تُبْلي ويُخْلِفُ الله عزّ وجلّ

(سنن ابي داؤد 137/6)
