موطأ مالك

Malik Muwatta
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏‏ لاَ تَسْأَلِ الْمَرْأَةُ طَلاَقَ أُخْتِهَا لِتَسْتَفْرِغَ صَحْفَتَهَا وَلِتَنْكِحَ فَإِنَّمَا لَهَا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهَا ‏"‏ ‏‏
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu 'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A woman should not ask for the divorce of her sister to make her plate empty and in order to marry. She has what is decreed for her."
