Who was the first one to receive the Messenger (peace be upon him) in Medina?
If the question is about a specific person who received the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, there is no mention of that in the available books. What is well-known is that all the Muslims in Medina went out to receive him. Al-Bukhari narrated that when the Muslims in Medina heard of the Prophet's departure from Mecca, they would go out every morning to await him. One day, a Jewish man saw the Prophet and his companions from a distance and called out to the Muslims, who then rushed to receive him.
