The Companion Whose Aim Was Blessed

Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) was one of the greatest archers among the Companions.

The Prophet ﷺ 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) – "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 ﷺ said: 'Shoot, Sa'd! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you.'"
