Sanābād (Persian: سناباد) was a village near Tus wherein Imam al-Rida (a) was buried. It has been narrated that Snabad was a little village before the development of Mashhad and was regarded as one of the suburban villages around Tus. However, presently it is a neighborhood, like Nawqan, in Mashhad metropolis and its river flows in Sarab neighborhood. After Imam Rida's martyrdom in Nawqan,[1] al-Ma'mun buried the purified body of the Imam (a) in Humayd b. Qahtaba al-Ta'i's house in Sanabad.[2] Expansion and connection of Sanabad with other villages of the area had formed the present Mashhad.[3]
