Abu Abd al-Rahman narrates from Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): When we learned ten verses from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we would not learn the verses revealed after them until we had learned all the rulings of the earlier verses. Sharik was asked about practice (whether it meant acting on them), and he said: Yes.
