Transliteration:( Yaaa abati laa ta'budish Shaitaan; innash Shaitaana kaana lir Rahmaani 'asiyyaa )
74.Do not commit infidelity by worshipping the devil. It should be remembered that an infidel and the polytheist become followers of the devil through their infidelity and polytheism. Here, the word 'serve signifies one who serves or worships and does not mean creation, because in this regard even the devil is the creation and servant of Allah Almighty.Â
75. He became disobedient by refusing to prostrate to Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace). Obedience to one who is disobedient leads the person towards disobedience. It deprives the person of the bounties and blessings and leads him towards suffering and punishment.

The tafsir of Surah Maryam verse 44 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maryam ayat 41 which provides the complete commentary from verse 41 through 45.
27. It should be noted that the literal translation of the Arabic text is: “Do not worship Satanâ€, though Abraham’s father and the other people did not worship Satan in the same sense as they worshiped idols. But as they followed and obeyed Satan, he accused them of worshiping Satan. Thus it is clear that if somebody follows and obeys Satan, he virtually worships him. For Satan has never been a deity in the sense that people have made him an object of worship; nay, they have always been cursing him and following him at the same time. For further details see (Surah Al-Kahf, ayat 51-50) note 49-50.
27a. For explanation, see (Surah At-Taubah, ayat 114) note 112.
