Was Salaah the first command given to every Messenger?

Question

Is it correct to say that salaah was the first command (or possibly one of the first commands?) to be given to every single messenger?

Answer

We know of Nabi (sallallau alaihi wa sallam), but we have no knowledge of the Ambiyaa that came before him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
