The term ‘Sarva Dharma Sambhav’ is basically not related to a particular religion or scripture as the word Dharma is not used to describe the term religion but it is used for doing right and good work in every situation. It does not mean all religions are equal. It was firstly used in September 1930 by Gandhiji in his speech to his followers to put an end to divisions that had begun to develop between Hindus and Muslims toward the end of the British rule.
Somewhere it is also said that this phrase Sarva Dharma Sambhav is from one of the Buddhist Mahayana Sutras.

As it implies to all the religion.
