A liar is not one who tries to bring reconciliation amongst people and speaks good (in order to avert dispute), or he conveys good. Ibn Shihab said he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything what the people speak as lie but in three cases: in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and the narration of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them).  

بَايَعْنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ الْكَذَّابُ الَّذِي يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَيَقُولُ خَيْرًا وَيَنْمِي خَيْرًا قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ يُرَخَّصُ فِي شَىْءٍ مِمَّا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ كَذِبٌ إِلاَّ فِي ثَلاَثٍ الْحَرْبُ وَالإِصْلاَحُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَحَدِيثُ الرَّجُلِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَحَدِيثُ الْمَرْأَةِ زَوْجَهَا  

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Shihab with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.  

وَقَالَتْ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يُرَخِّصُ فِي شَىْءٍ مِمَّا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِلاَّ فِي ثَلاَثٍ بِمِثْلِ مَا جَعَلَهُ يُونُسُ مِنْ قَوْلِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ  

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri with a slight variation of wording.  

عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَنَمَى خَيْرًا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ
