Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is our best well-wisher!

The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the following words:

I am nearer and dearer to every believer than his own soul.

In other words man himself cannot be a better well-wisher of himself than the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم , just as the parents who bear all sorts of worries and troubles for the welfare and comfort of their children. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم emphasized that whatever he said was in the interest of his Ummah and not in his own interest. He صلى الله عليه وسلم  feared lest the Ummah may make itself liable to Hell, by deviating from the straight path. The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم next said:

This means: I am your well-wisher in the Hereafter. As regards in this world, if anyone has died leaving behind
him some wealth as heritage, it belongs to the members of his family, which they should distribute among them according to the rules of the Shari'ah. If one has left some loan against him which cannot be discharged out of the heritage left by him or has left behind children and there is none to look after and support them bring them to me. I should support them for their entire lifetime. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said all this to tell that he is your well-wisher; he does not covet your wealth. He said in the above mentioned Hadith: I want to save you from Hell towards which you are hurrying headlong. So, for God's sake, you should refrain from these sins and remain safe from Hell.
