Musnad Abi Ya'la 3330 — he said: I do not recognise anything
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: " مَا أَعْرِفُ شَيْئًا كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْسَ قَوْلَكُمْ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ " قَالَ: " قِيلَ: الصَّلَاةُ يَا أَبَا الْحَمْزَةَ؟ " قَالَ: «قَدْ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا عِنْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ مَعَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَرَ زَمَانًا خَيْرًا لِعَامِلٍ مِنْ زَمَانِكُمْ هَذَا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I do not recognise anything (in these practices of yours) that I used to recognise in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), except this saying of yours: La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah)." The narrator said: It was said: "O Abu Hamzah, is the prayer also like that?" He said: "The prayer you offered at Maghrib, was it like the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (with its proper manners and conditions)? Even so, I have not seen a time better for one who does good deeds than this time of yours."
