The Book of Marriage

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 3442

لاَ يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ يَسُومُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا وَلاَ عَلَى خَالَتِهَا وَلاَ تَسْأَلُ الْمَرْأَةُ طَلاَقَ أُخْتِهَا لِتَكْتَفِئَ صَحْفَتَهَا وَلْتَنْكِحْ فَإِنَّمَا لَهَا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهَا

lā yakhṭubu ar-rajulu ʿalā khiṭbah akhīhi walā yasūmu ʿalā sawmi akhīhi walā tunkaḥu al-marʾah ʿalā ʿammatihā walā ʿalā khālatihā walā tasʾalu al-marʾah ṭalāqa ukhtihā litaktafiʾa ṣaḥfatahā waltankiḥ fa-innamā lahā mā kataba-Llāh lahā

The full narration

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:A man must not make proposal of marriage to a woman when his brother has done so already. And he must not offer a price for a thing for which his brother had already offered a price; and a woman must not be combined in marriage with her father's sister, nor with her mother's sister, and a woman must not ask to have her sister divorced in order to deprive her of what belongs to her, but she must marry, because she will have what Allah has decreed for her
