Spiritual benefits of praising the prophet ?

[ahmad]

As salam alaykum,
God asks believer to praise the prophet [33:56]. I wanted to ask if there is a deeper spiritual benefit from doing so apart from the fact that we are obeying Allah.

Also is there a thing as excessive praise and do we have to balance praising our prophets with praising previous prophets ?

Thank you
