Shaykh Muhammad Aref, one of the most pious persons of his time passed away in the year 985 A.H./ 1577 A.D., and was famous as Peer-e- Palandooz (The Old Pack Saddler). He was called so, since he made pack saddles to earn his living. His tomb is in front of the Lower Bast called Bast Hur Ameli. His tomb was originally built by Sultan Muhammad Khudabandeh, the Mongol Ilkhanid ruler of Iran. The tomb of Peer-e- Palandooz has recently been reconstructed and renovated by Astan Quds Razavi on a grand scale.
