Reconciling the hadith that says, "If we see a Christian, we force him to the narrowest part of the road," with the call to Islam?

Question : How do we reconcile the hadith that urges us to force a Christian to the narrowest part of the road when we see him, with the hadiths indicating the call to entering Islam? I want clarification on this, because I fear that this action might be a deterrent. I do not intend to object to the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah preserve you and grant you success.

Answer : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. We must know that the most intense in calling to Allah is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the most guided of guides to Allah is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and that the most knowledgeable of creation regarding what elevates creation is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If we know this, then any understanding we derive from the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that is devoid of wisdom, we must suspect that understanding and know that our interpretation of the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is incorrect. However, this does not mean that we measure the hadiths of the Messenger by what we perceive with our minds and understandings, for our minds and understandings are limited. But there are general rules in the Shari'ah to which specific foreign matters are referred. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: "the narrowest part." If you compare the beginning of the hadith with its end, the meaning is: do not make it spacious for them when you meet them.
So that they have space and the narrowness is upon you. Rather, the meaning is: continue in your direction and your path, and make the narrowness upon them, if there is any narrowness. Otherwise, it is well known that the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not that when he saw a disbeliever, he would push him against the wall to pin him there. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do this to the Jews in Madinah, nor did his Companions do it after the Ansar had settled. But the meaning is: just as you do not greet them with the salam, you do not make the road smooth for them. If they meet you, you move aside so they can pass, or rather, continue on what you are doing and make the narrowness upon them if the road is in their possession. This is the meaning of the hadith. There is nothing in it whatsoever, except the dignity of the Muslim and that he does not submit to anyone except to his Lord, the Exalted and Majestic.
