Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers), after which the whale safely ejected him onto a barren shore.

Which of the following birds conveyed the message of Hazrat Sulaiman (AS) to the Queen Saba?
💡
Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
The bird that conveyed the message of Hazrat Sulaiman (AS) to the Queen of Saba (Sheba) was the Hoopoe, which is known in Arabic and Urdu as the Hudhud (ہدہد). Because the Hoopoe (Hudhud) is not listed among the choices (A, B, or C), "None of these" is the correct selection.
As detailed in the Holy Quran in Surah An-Naml (Verses 20–28), the Hudhud flew to the kingdom of Saba, discovered that the Queen (Bilqees) and her people were worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and reported back to Hazrat Sulaiman (AS). Hazrat Sulaiman (AS) then sent the Hudhud back to the Queen carrying his official letter, inviting her and her kingdom to submit to the worship of the one true God.

He would weave palm leaves into baskets or wallets, sell them in the market, and use that modest income to feed himself, while dedicating the state treasury entirely to his subjects.
