While in Egypt editions on 826/7 pages were replaced by reduced page editions (except some tafāsīr), Bairut, Dimašq, ʿAmmān, Doha and Kuwait printed almost hundred editions, mostly in one volume, some in 30 parts.
While die KFA until the end reproduced both the Publication details of 1924 and 1952, the ʿAmmān edition that survives in archive.org has three colophons:
I am unhappy with the pagination in the Bairut, Damascus, ʿAmmān, and Doha editions, which dispense with the Amīrīya's separate pagination for the non‑Qurʾānic material, i.e. running the numbering straight through to 852 or 855 respectively — the Šāmī editions including seven pages on the differences from 1924 (as in KFA II), the Qatari one having four pages of duʿāʾ al-ḫātima instead. In doing so, however, all these continuously paginated editions commit a pagination malpractice: they do not count the blank page between the Qurʾānic text and the appendices, so although in the Qurʾānic section all even‑numbered pages are on the right, the appendices have odd‑numbered pages on the right‑hand side.
