Saudi Arabia, Scott Nr RA4B (1946) This postal tax stamp was required (in addition to regular postage) on all mail from January through July. Only problem is -- those banners on each side of the crossed swords? -- some clerics took umbrage with the inscription (the left and right banners say, respectively: There is no god but God and Muhammad is God. and There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God.) so the post office immediately withdrew these, scratched out the inscriptions on the die, and quickly reprinted them.

That sounds accurate for the Saudi's of the time.
