Albrecht,

من البديهي (min al-badeehee if you do not have UTF-8 or there are
rendering problems) is what I was taught years ago.  It literally
means "from the forehead."

Best,

Dear Albrecht,
 
For MSA I would suggests
البداهة
أمور بديهية
بالبديهية
 
The antonym however would be
أمر لا يعقل
 
For Egyptian Colloquial, it is
 
مفهومية
بالعقل
 
I hoe this makes sense,

In the Arabic translation of Terry Eagleton's book Literary Theory: An Introduction, translated by ثائر ديب, "common sense" is translated as الفهم الشائع.

Subject:translation for 'common sense'

بَـدِيــهــي – بــداهــة       Badihi,
مَــنــطِــقــي – المـنـطِــق manTiqi            
 
These words used for common sense. But the second one is also used for Logic.
Now, I don’t speak German, so I got lost in the German part!

Dear Prof. Hofheinz,
    Wehr has  /fahm  mushtarak/  for "common sense".

    Mod. Hebrew uses the neologism  /seHel  yashar/  =  'straight (direct) intelligence'.
    
    [also, check out  /ma`quuliyyah/  in Wehr.]

Best wishes,
Mike Schub

Dr. Hofheinz,
 
Common sense , I would translate as:
بديهي - الذوق العام - حسن التمييز
And of course within the context of the sentence.

For  'common sense' we'd say بديهيات or أمر بديهي, as derived from intuition because it is not acquired by learning.

Subject:translation for 'common sense'

I would say in Egyptian Colloquial :
بالعقل كده  or بالمنطق كده
may be in Modern Standard Arabic it could be: منطقياً   or  بديهياً  
hope this could be of any help
