Reflection — Ibn Kathir
The Shaytan is the Companion of the One Who turns away from Ar-Rahman
وَمَن يَعْشُ
(And whosoever Ya`shu (turns away blindly)) means, whoever willfully ignores and turns away

Commentary
وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ (And whoever makes himself blind against the advice of the Rahman, We assign for him a devil who accompanies him all the time - 43:36) It means that whoever knowingly turns a blind eye towards Allah's advice i.e. the Holy Qur'an and wahy, Allah assigns to him a devil who accompanies him all the time in this world to prevent him from virtuous deeds, and to divert him towards evil. When such a man is resurrected in the Hereafter, his devil will also be with him, till they both are pushed in Hell. (Qurtubi).
