The dua to recite after leaving the toilet by the Prophet (ﷺ). Like other duas, this dua helps gain Allah's (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) blessings and is a way of offering one's gratitude to Him. Moreover, duas are a Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ), and following his Sunnah can help believers receive tremendous rewards in this life and the hereafter. Following the Prophet's Sunnah is also a way of getting close to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). It has been narrated by Aisha (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا) that, "When the Prophet would exit the toilet, he would say: 'Ghufranak.'" – (Jami at-Tirmidhi 7). There has also been a narration that narrates another dua before exiting the lavatory; it was reported by Anas bin Malik (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) and goes as follows: "Whenever the Prophet exited the toilet, he would say: 'Al-hamdu lillahilladhi adhhaba 'annial-adha wa 'afani (Praise is to Allah Who has relieved me of impurity and given me good health)....

Other Islamic etiquette also instructs to practice silence when inside the toilets and avoid unnecessar...

  The dua to be recited before undressing was taught by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) as reported by a Hadith in Jami at-Tirmidhi 606. The narrator of the Hadith is Ali Bin Abi Talid (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ), who reported the Prophet  (ﷺ)  saying: "The screen between the eyes of the jinns and nakedness of the children of Adam when one of you enters the area of relieving oneself is saying: 'Bismillah.'" – Jami at-Tirmidhi 606. One should still recite Bismillah before entering the toilet or an area where you are going to undress.
