In the early 1000s, the mathematician and engineer, al-Karaji, wrote a book on the extraction of groundwater for irrigation. Not only did he describe the engineering aspects of bringing up groundwater, but he also wrote of the legal aspects of water rights, and referenced the schools of Islamic law (fiqh) in his analysis.

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah said: I have prepared for my righteous servants what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no heart has perceived. Recite the verse if you wish: No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort.” (32:17)

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلَا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ

Ata ibn Yasar reported: I met Abdullah ibn Amr and I said, “Tell me about the description of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in the Torah.” Abdullah said, “By Allah, he is described in the Torah with some of what is mention in the Quran: O Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, a bringer of glad tidings, and to give warning, (33:45) and to guard over the illiterate, for you are My servant and messenger. I have called you a trustworthy man who is neither rude nor loud in the markets, nor does he return evil with evil, but rather he pardons and forgives. Allah Almighty will not take him back until He has made straight the religion which is crooked, that they will say: There is no God but Allah, through which eyes are made to see, ears are made to hear, and hearts are opened.”
