Who was one of the 4 persons from whom the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) advised his companions to learn the Qur'an?

1. 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (Radhi Allahu Anhu)
2. Abu Darda (Radhi Allahu Anhu)

Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr : Allah's Apostle neither talked in an insulting manner nor did he ever speak evil intentionally. He used to say, "The most beloved to me amongst you is the one who has the best character and manners." He added, " Learn the Qur'an from (any of these) four persons. 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubai bin Ka'b, and Mu'adh bin Jabal." (Al-Bukhari Book 57 #104)
