There's a whole chapter in Riydah As Saliheen on this.  Here is one of the hadith which really shows the message.


-----------Original Message-------------------------------------------
Chapter 49
Making Judgment of people keeping in view their evident actions and
leaving
their hidden Actions to Allah (swt)

Hadith 394

Jundub bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) dispatched a contingent of the Muslims to a tribe
of the polytheists. The two sides met (in combat) at one place. A man among
the polytheists was so dashing that, whenever he intended to kill a man
from Muslims, he killed him. Amongst the Muslims, too, was a man looking
forward to (an opportunity of) his (polytheist's) unmindfulness. He (the
narrator) said: We talked that he was Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased
with him). When he raised his sword, he (the soldier of the polytheists)
uttered: "La ilaha illallah (There is no true god except Allah).'' But he
(Usamah bin Zaid) killed him. When the good news of victory reached
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) he asked him (about the events of the battle),
and he informed him about the man (Usamah) and what he had done. He
(Messenger of Allah (PBUH)) sent for him and asked him why he had killed
him. He (Usamah) said, "O Messenger of Allah, he struck the Muslims and
killed such and such of them.'' And he named some of them. (He continued):
"I attacked him and when he saw the sword he said: `La ilaha illallah.'''
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Did you kill him?'' He (Usamah) replied in
the affirmative. The Messenger of Allah then remarked, "What would you do
with regard to (the utterance): La ilaha illallah, when it comes (before
you) on the Day of Resurrection?'' He (Usamah) said, "O Messenger of Allah!
Beg forgiveness for me". He (the Prophet (PBUH)) said, "What would you do
with regard to (the utterance): La ilaha illallah, when it comes (before
you) on the Day of Resurrection?'' He (Messenger of Allah (PBUH)) added
nothing to it but kept repeating, "What would you do with regard to (the
utterance): La ilaha illallah, when it comes (before you) on the Day of
Resurrection?".
[Muslim].
