وَ مَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱ لْشَّيَاطِينُ وَ مَا يَنْبَغىِ لَهُمْ و مَا (يَسْتَطِيعوُنَ)
Wa mā tanazzalat bi-hi ash-shayāt̤īnu wa mā yanbag͟hī la-hum wa mā (yastat̤īʿūna).
“The Satans were not sent down with it (the Qurʾān): it beseemed them not, and they had not the power.”
([Sūrah xxvi. 210]; the words in italics correspond to the word yastat̤īʿūna, which is not contained in the Cufic original.)
The next two specimens illustrate the Cufic style, as it is employed on monuments, and more particularly so its Maghrebian development.
