He,(PBUH)never forgot a favor conferred to him by women

‘“I was with the Messen- ger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, on a journey. We travelled the whole night, and when dawn was about to break, we stopped to rest for a while, and were overpowered (by sleep) until the sun shone [...] People complained to him about their thirst due to the lack of water. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, then urged me and ‘Ali ibn Abu Taalib (a Companion and the Prophet’s cousin) to go ahead immediately to search for water. We were traveling when we came across a woman who was sitting (on a cam- el) with her feet hanging over two leather water bags. We asked her, ‘How far away is water available?’ She said: ‘Far, very far, very far. You cannot get water.’ We (again) asked: ‘What is the distance between (the residence of) your family and water?’ She said: ‘It is the journey of a day and night.’ We said to her: ‘Come with us’ She said: ‘Where to?’ We replied: ‘To the Mes- senger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam’. She said: ‘Who is the Messenger of Allah?’ Somehow, we managed to bring her to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who asked about her, and she informed him as she had in- formed us that she was a widow with orphan children. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, ordered that her camel should be made to kneel down and he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, drank from the opening (of her leathern water-bag), and people were called to drink. The camel was then raised up and forty thirsty men drank water till we were completely satisfied, and we filled up all leathern water-bags and water-skins that we had with us, but we did not make any camel drink, and the leathern water-bags were so full that they were about to burst (on account of excess of water). The last thing he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, did was to give water to the person who had the ritual impurity and said to him: “Use this to bathe [i.e. purify yourself from the ritual impurity].” The woman was standing aside watching with astonishment what the Mes- senger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was doing with her water contain- er. I swear by Allah, he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, left the container and it appeared to us as if the container was even fuller than before we started using it. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, then said to us: “Bring whatever food- stuff you have with you for her.” So we collected the bits of pieces of bread, dates and wheat and packed them up in a bundle and placed it on her camel. Then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to her: “Take it away. This is meant for your children, and know that we have not done any loss to your water. Rather, Allah is The One Who provided us with water.” When she came to her family, and she was late, they asked her, ‘What took you so long?’ She said: ‘I have met the greatest magician amongst human beings. If not, then he is indeed a Messenger (of Allah) as he claims to be.’ She then narrat- ed what had happened. The Muslims used to invade the areas around her tribe but stay away from their territory. One day she said to her people, ‘These people are intentionally staying away from our territory, so why don’t we embrace Islam?’ Her people obeyed her and Allah guided aright those people through that woman. She af- firmed her faith in Islam and so did her people.”1
