Are the verses commanding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to be patient abrogated by the Verse of the Sword?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We see in many missionary books that when they come across a verse commanding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to be patient, they say that it has been abrogated by the Verse of the Sword. Is this correct?

Answer:
Yes, this is correct in the sense that regarding the abandonment of fighting, he (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were in Makkah prohibited from fighting and commanded only to call [people to Islam] and to be patient. So when he migrated to al-Madinah and found helpers and the Ansar, fighting was made obligatory: the jihad against the disbelievers. This means that they were in Makkah prohibited from fighting and commanded to restrict themselves to calling [people to Islam], worship, and the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because they were unable to fight in that state. So when they were able to fight after the migration, Allah made it obligatory upon them. Yes.
