While not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the Jewish oral history refers to the Seven Laws of Noah as binding on all mankind as part of the Covenant of the Rainbow.

While it is known that all prophets preached the same fundamental message of Islam, is there mention of these particular laws, as per this particular Covenant, in the primary sources?

In islam these prohibition things are called Kaba'ir (big sins), they include:

polytheism, sorcery, murder, usury, vilification, theft, perjury, illegal sexual intercourse and a few other sins.

There is no clear connection between them and Noah.

Concerning the number, the Ahadith mention different numbers for example:

3 or 3

4 or 4 or 4

In Surat Al-'An`ām you can find Ten Commandments:

151 and 152 and 153
