2263. Verse 27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now' I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, and I am [but] dust and ashes. 'Abraham answered and said' means the Lord's thought from the human. 'Behold now, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, and I am [but] dust and ashes' means [the state of] humiliation in the human as to what the human was in comparison.
