  مُهَّانًا — abased. A passive participle 'humiliated/abased', used as a circumstantial description in the accusative - it tells the state in which he abides, 'in disgrace'. Arabic uses this accusative participle to add the surrounding condition of the verb. As a passive participle it casts him as one acted upon, subjected to debasement.
