You are even prepared to sacrifice your life for your worst enemy so that they become believers and secure themselves from the wrath and vengeance of God. Hence, whoever achieves anything of the spiritual beneficence of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) he could never confine himself to his own place and keep the Khair (goodness) he has achieved confined to himself, rather he pushes it further and makes others sharers of that Khair (goodness). He benefitted others of the Khair (goodness) because to some extent within a sphere he held Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) as best model, then how can he keep that Khair (goodness) for himself alone.
