The answer

It appears you are referring to the hadith of Aisha from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever introduces into this affair of ours anything that does not belong to it, it will be rejected" (agreed upon). You seem to have confused it with the hadith: "Every matter of importance that does not begin with 'Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim' is cut short," which is weak. The meaning of the first hadith is that it is not permissible to worship through an act unless there is evidence to support it; otherwise, the act of worship will be rejected and its doer will be sinful.
