خُرَاسَانَ — Khurasan. A foreign place-name acting as the object of 'from'. Borrowed names like this often resist the usual endings and stay in one fixed shape regardless of the preposition's pull, which is why its tail does not change the way a native noun's would. It anchors the origin point of the carrying.
