Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
adab:110

Abu Hurayra said, "Do not begin with your more distant neighbours before the closer ones. Rather begin with your nearest neighbours before the most distant ones."

الأدب المفرد:١١٠حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ بَجَالَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ وَلاَ يَبْدَأُ بِجَارِهِ الأَقْصَى قَبْلَ الأَدْنَى وَلَكِنْ يَبْدَأُ بِالأَدْنَى قَبْلَ الأَقْصَى
