I don't use the expression ibn nas. However, the way I define it has nothing to do with social class or wealth. In my opinion it is strictly based on manners and being well brought up. According to this definition, some of my neighbours are definitely not "wilad nas". Despite being wealthy, educated and occupying great jobs they are very rude and mean to all the poor bawaabs who have the misfortune of working in our building. The "respectable" lady who happens to be a doctor kicked her husband out in the middle of the night since the apartment is hers. Another one wearing niqab refuses to answer when I say AA, apparently looking down upon me since I don't measure up to her high religious standards (though I wear a veil myself). I could go on and on.

On the other hand, the lady who comes to help me clean my apartment is definitely bint nas and nas akabir kaman. She's very polite, has a conscience and prays not only the fard but also the sunna. One of our poor bawabeen (there are so many) was ibn nas to the extent that he left because his pride would not let him take the insults of the so called "wilad ilnas" who live in the building.

I think this clarifies my opinion.

Edit:
I was just going to gather the laundry from the line when I discovered that "wilad ilnas" who live above us washed their shutters over my laundry! Back to the washing machine!

Well Nada, as usual I will "philosophize" my answer, I hope you won't mind:)

The origin of the word "Ibn Nas" dates back to the memlouk's era. As you know the memlouks literally means "slaves" and this is exactly how they all started in Egypt. Then they went up the ranks of the military, where they were employed, till they became the rulers of Egypt.

Most of them did not know their origins or families since they were brought into Egypt as young children, so in this respect they were not "Welad Nas" or at least "known Nas". Once in power they started distinguishing other non Memlouks as "Welad Nas", in this regard this nickname wasn't meant to be a compliment but rather the opposite since it designated the poor "Egyptian" who was looked upon as an inferior, but still had such a kind heart that he was willing to accept his "slaves" as his rulers. To them he had the only advantage of having a known traceable family lineage.

So where is the moral from this story? what do we learn from the above? "Ibn El Nas" is the pure Egyptian (El Masry El aseel) with all his great treats, kindness and originality, unchanged by time, rich or poor, he is still "Ibn El Nas El tayebeen, El masreyeen".

I wish there were many "Welad Nas" these days... but... only if wishes could this easily come true...

For me, "Ibn nas" means a well-brought up man/woman, descent, respectful man who does not look down at simple people, humane to all people, does not treat woman as an animal, enty fahmany tab3ab. howa dah ibn ennas fi nazary.

And no, I don't use it in my daily life, I very seldom do.

Eager to know your answer soon, Noody.

ROFL Farah you are soooooooooooo funny, i love you & your answer.
I know what you means about some peoples being mean to others.
This family who live near us in Sharm, no richer than us but thinks they are better & treat their workers with very little respect & even beat them sometimes & one time set their dogs on them.
My mom did defend these peoples(the workers) some left this family & went back to their villages two of them now work with us, not for us, my family do not like this term, they are now part of our family & often eat with us! Everyone deserves respect no matter where they from in life!
I hopes your washing dry before any birds dirty on them, this happens too!

To me, "Ibn naas" means: respectable, respectful, decent, well-brought-up, wise, and knows well how he acts.

I use this expression.. Sometimes in a joking way, though.. I, once, had a delicate cat, and I used to say my cat is "bent naas".. Of course, this doesn’t mean it’s human by any means.. lol

Nice question, Nada.. Your questions can easily make me smile :D
