This hadith is transmitted by 'Amr bin Yahya with the same chain of transmitters who narrated: They would be cast into the river which is called (the river of) life, and (both the narrators) did not doubt the hadith. The text transmitted by Khalid is: just as seeds sprout beside the flood water; and in the hadith of Wuhaib it is: Just as the seed sprouts in the silt or deposit left by flood.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Sulaiman bin Bilal (RA) from Yahya.
