نَاسٌ
ذ
is applied to
Men, and to
jinn, or
genii;
(S, Msb, K;) but its predominant application is to the former: (Msb:) it is said by some to be applied to both in the former of the last two verses of the Kur,
ا@لَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ النَّاسِ
مِنَ الجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ [
who suggesteth what is vain in the breasts of people of the jinn and mankind]; unless by it be meant
النَّاسِى [the forgetting]; or
من الجنّة والناس is added in explanation of a preceding word,
الوَسْوَاس, or of
الذى, or it is in dependence upon
يوسوس; (Bd;) [but what corroborates the first explanation is the fact that] men and jinn are both termed
رِجَال in the Kur, lxxii. 6; and the Arabs used to say,
رَأَيْتُ نَاسًا
مِنَ الجِنِّ [
I saw people of the jinn]: (Msb:) it is a pl. of
إِِنْسٌ, (K,) originally
أُنَاسٌ, (S, K,) a pl. which is rare [as to form]; (K;) or
أُنَاسٌ is pl. of
إِِنْسَانٌ; (M, art.
أنس;) and
ناس has the article
ال prefixed to it, (S, M,) but not as a substitute for the suppressed
', because, were it so, it would not be found prefixed to the original,
أُنَاسٌ, whereas it is found prefixed to this latter: (S:) this derivation, however, from
أُنَاسٌ, contradicts its belonging to art.
نوس: (MF;) [but some hold that it does belong to this art.; and the form of its dim., to be mentioned below, favours their opinion: Fei says,] it is a noun applied to denote a pl., like
قَوْمٌ and
رَهْطٌ; and its sing. is
إِِنْسَانٌ, from a different root: it is derived from
نَاسَ, aor.
يَنُوسُ, signifying “ it hung down and was in a state of commotion: ” and [agreeably with this derivation it is said that] its dim. is
نُوَيْسٌ: (Msb:) some, again, said that
النَّاسُ is originally
النَّاسِى. (L, TA, voce
إِِنْسٌ.) See also
إِِنْسٌ, throughout. -A2- See also
نُوَاسٌ.

a coffin in which a corpse is enclosed: and 'Abd-el-Lateef applies the (expression
