His saying, the Exalted: “I have submitted my face to Allah” — is the intended meaning the self?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh says: Allah the Exalted said:
So if they argue with you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allah فإن حاجوك فقل أسلمت وجهي لله
[Ali 'Imran 3:20]
If it is said that the intended meaning of “face” is the self, meaning “I have submitted my entire self to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He”?

The Shaykh : Yes, so what is the status of His saying:
Closer to أقرب من
Whoever has submitted his face has submitted his self; whoever has submitted his face has submitted his self.
