3560. Abū Umāmah narrated that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb [may Allāh be pleased with him] wore a new garment and said: "All praise is due to Allāh who clothed me with what I may cover my 'Awrah, and what I may beautify myself with in my life (Al-Hamdulillāh, Alladhī Kasāni Mā Uwārī Bihi 'Awratī, Wa Atajammalu Bihi Fī Hayātī).” Then he said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'Whoever wears a new garment and then says: "All
praise is due to Allāh who clothed me with what I may cover my Awrah, and what I may beautify myself with in my life (Al-Hamdulillāh, Alladhī Kasānī Mā Uwārī Bihi 'Awratī, Wa Atajammalu Bihi Fī Hayātī)" and then he takes the garment that has worn out and gives it in charity, he shall be under Allāh's guard, Allāh's protection, and Allāh's covering, alive and dead." (Ḍa'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Gharīb. Yaḥyā bin Ayyūb reported it from 'Ubaidullāh bin Zahr, from 'Ali bin Yazīd, from Al-Qāsim from Abū Umāmah.

Commentary
Clothing is also a basic need of man like food and shelter. When Allāh ﷻ provides new clothing to one of His servant, he should praise and thank Him. If the servant gives the old garment in charity Allāh ﷻ provides him security and protects him from the humiliation before the people.
