In the Battle of Uhud, after whose martyrdom did Hazrat Ali (R.A) take up the standard?

Explanation

Hazrat Musab bin Umair (R.A) was the flag-bearer of the Muslim army in the Battle of Uhud. He was specifically targeted by the Quraysh because the standard represented the unity and morale of the Muslim forces. After he was martyred while holding the flag, Hazrat Ali (R.A) took up the standard and continued to defend it valiantly. Musab bin Umair (R.A) had earlier served as the first ambassador of Islam to Madina before the Hijrah.
