حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَالصُّلْحُ خَيْرٌ فِي رَجُلٍ کَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ طَالَتْ صُحْبَتُهَا وَوَلَدَتْ مِنْهُ أَوْلَادًا فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَبْدِلَ بِهَا فَرَاضَتْهُ عَلَی أَنْ تُقِيمَ عِنْدَهُ وَلَا يَقْسِمَ لَهَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1974
It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "This Verse 'And making peace is better.' was revealed concerning a man who had been married to a woman for a. long time, and she had given birth to his children and he wanted to exchange her (for a new wife). She agreed that he would stay with her (the new wife) and would not give her (the first wife) a share of his time. (i.e., not spend the nights with her).” (Sahih)
