The Prophet Muhammad expressed his love for Muslims who had not seen him by referring to them as "my brothers" shortly before his death. He wanted to meet believers who lived after him without seeing him in person. This reveals the Prophet's love for later followers and calls on Muslims to genuinely love him by following his teachings and guidance in their lives rather than just paying lip service. It encourages reconsidering one's life in light of the Prophet's example and spreading awareness of his message.
