The levying of customs was common in pre-Islamic Arabia. They were usually levied in the annual fairs and in Mecca, where Muḥammad's ancestor, Qusayy, reportedly levied them from the non-Meccans entering Mecca. Muḥammad continued this age-old practice, hence the phrase <i>lā yu 'sharūna wa-lā yuḥsharūna</i> in his letters to certain parties. It exempted these parties from the payment of customs, while all the others had to pay up.<br><br>La leva de impuestos de aduana era práctica común en la Arabia preislámica. Se recaudaban en las ferias anuales y en La Meca, donde el antepasado de Muḥammad, Qusayy, los recaudaba entre los no-mequenses que entraban en la ciudad. Muḥammad continuó esta práctica ancestral, como atestigua la frase <i>lā yu 'sharūna wa-lā yuḥsharūna</i> en algunas cartas, frase por la cual los receptores quedaban exentos de los derechos de aduana, mientras que todo el resto tenía que pagarlos.Date
