It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: This verse, "And reconciliation is better." [Surah al-Nisa: 128] , was revealed about a man who had a wife with whom he had been in a long companionship and by whom he had children. Then that man intended to replace her with another wife, so the woman persuaded him to agree that he would let her remain married to him and would not give her a share (of his nights). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
