The answer

Our beloved Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is a light from Allah, as Allah the Almighty said: "There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book." Al-Tabari and Al-Nawawi interpreted "the Light" as Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. As for describing him as "the secret of secrets and the antidote for others' ills," these are ambiguous phrases used by people of falsehood for corrupt meanings. The Prophet is a human being to whom revelation is sent; he is the best of mankind, and there are no "secrets" in our religion in this sense. The aforementioned prayer is not authentically transmitted, and what is authentically transmitted is sufficient.
