Sahih al-Bukhari 4110 (Book 64, Hadith 154) #3929
Taking Offensive Action Against Infidels

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) declared that the Muslims will go to attack the infidels instead of them attacking the Muslims.

Narrated Sulaiman bin Surd: When the clans were driven away, I heard the Prophet saying, "From now onwards we will go to attack them (ie the infidels) and they will not come to attack us, but we will go to them".
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ صُرَدٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ حِينَ أَجْلَى الأَحْزَابُ عَنْهُ ‏ "‏ الآنَ نَغْزُوهُمْ وَلاَ يَغْزُونَنَا، نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ إِلَيْهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about taking offensive action against those who do not believe in Islam, also known as infidels. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ declared that from now on, it would be the Muslims who would take action and attack them instead of waiting for them to come and attack us. This hadith teaches us that we should not wait for others to take action against us but rather be proactive and take initiative in defending our faith. It also teaches us that we should never give up hope or become complacent when faced with adversity, but rather strive to protect our faith by taking offensive action if necessary.
