In this week’s parsha in the parsha of the akaida AA says “venashuva alaichem.” Rashi explains that AA prophesized  that they both would return not just AA alone. This is slightly problematic. A novie knows what he is prophesizing, in which case there is no test here, AA must realize that his son YA will not be a korban which could not be the case or there is no test. If OTOH AA did believe that he was going to lose  his son at the akaida, then AA is telling a sheker when he says “venashuva alaichem” since his intentions at that moment were for him to return alone! Clearly Rashi is trying to grapple with this problem but only dealing with one side of it. Anyone know what the meforshim say to deal with this?
