Astaghfirullah
They have quoted this out of context:
So fight in the way of God, since you are only held responsible for yourself. Encourage believers; perhaps God will fend off the violence of those who disbelieve. God is Strongest when things come to violence, and Sternest in punishment." Qur'an 4:84
The phrase "since you are held responsible for yourself "means:The prophet(pbuh) was commanded to fight because he was the one that was burdened so this is his own responsibility.This verse is connected with the a large majority of the medinans who are reluctant to fight with the prophet at Badr Shugra.Therefore this verse was revealed to the Prophet commanding him to fight even if he is alone.As he has the responsibility of a leader to protect the beleivers.
