Musaylima 'the Liar' was one of a number of 'prophets' operating in 7th Century Arabia. One of his verses goes:

لقد أنعم الله على الحبلى

أخرج منها نسمة تسعى

من بين صفاق وحشى

Allah has graced the pregnant woman

He has brought out from her a person that has chased

From between peritoneum and entrails.
