Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Expulsion of Iblis from Jannah, and His Reprieve until the Day of ResurrectionAllah tells us how He issued an unconditional command to Iblis to leave the position he held among the highest of heights. He told him that he was an outcast, i.e., cursed, and that he would be followed by a curse that would hound him until the Day of Resurrection.
