The Chapters on Divorce
Sunan Ibn Mājah 2081
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَا بَالُ أَحَدِكُمْ يُزَوِّجَ عَبْدَهُ أَمَتَهُ ثُمَّ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا إِنَّمَا الطَّلاَقُ لِمَنْ أَخَذَ بِالسَّاقِ
yā ayyuhā an-nāsu mā bālu aḥadikum yuzawwija ʿabdah amatah thumma yurīdu an yufarriqa baynahumā innamā aṭ-ṭalāqu liman akhadha bi-as-sāqi

The full narration
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:"A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my master married me to his slave woman, and now he wants to separate me and her.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and said: 'O people, what is the matter with one of you who marries his slave to his slave woman, then wants to separate them? Divorce belongs to the one who takes hold of the calf (i.e., her husband).’ “
