@D1mashqi I think this maybe taken out of context.
What if he was just referring to some other muslims in front of him and basically asking for directions and now you're taking aqidah from this mundane incident?
The same goes for pre emptive self defense. In matters of self preservation in general, there is no luxury of telling battle ready men to go home and take it easy. This could only be possible in the context of a militarily comfortable state focusing on offensives and expansions
An excellent read, you included commands to fight on the basis of kufr from the Quran and Sunnah, some offensive Maghazi and verdicts of the Salaf and ulema after them. but I think something often overlooked in this discussion is the permit to forego jihad for parents
OFFENSIVE JIHĀD
The purpose behind Jihād according to the Ahl al-Sunnah is in order to conquer new lands and impose Islām upon them so that the people of those lands have a chance to become Muslim and save their Ākhirah.
in that case, there would soon be no parents to care for because every warrior is at home with his parents leaving nobody to stop the kuffar which are supposed to be invading the Muslims!
A thread on the age of Aisha.
There are many resources on this topic, but inshallah the information below will be found useful to some.
This may be a long thread so perhaps I will publish it and then add to it tomorrow as it is late here.
