Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) was one of the greatest archers among the Companions.
The Prophet ļ·ŗ made a special du'a for him:
"O Allah, direct his aim and answer his supplication."
Sa'd (RA) would later become one of the greatest commanders in Islamic history.
### Sources:
Sahih Muslim 2412 ("Shoot, Sa'd! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you.")
Jami' al-Tirmidhi (Virtues of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas) ā "O Allah, direct his aim and answer his supplication."
This is more precise than simply saying "Bukhari and Muslim."
One more thing: I would actually change the Short slightly. Instead of ending with:
"Sa'd became one of Islam's greatest commanders."
"The Prophet ļ·ŗ said: 'Shoot, Sa'd! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you.'"
