4024. It was narrated from Umm Khālid bint Khālid bin Sa'eed bin Al-'Aš that some clothes were brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, among which was a small garment. He said: "Who do you think is more deserving of this?" The people remained silent. Then he said: "Bring Umm Khālid to me." She was brought, and he gave it to her to wear, then he said: "Ablī wa akhliqī (Wear it out and make it ragged)" twice. He started looking at the markings on the garment, which were red or yellow, and saying: "Sanāh, Sanāh, O Umm Khālid." Sanāh means beautiful in the language of the Ethiopians. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
These words are an excellent supplication for the wearer of new clothes. It means to use it until it is worn out, and to live a healthy life.
