Is it permissible to curse Shaytan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is frequently cursing Shaytan a prescribed matter?

Answer:
No, cursing Shaytan has no benefit. If a person curses Shaytan, he takes pride in it and says, "I angered the son of Adam; I angered the son of Adam." Shaytan is already cursed without you cursing him. However, it is prescribed that you seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan
And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
[Fussilat 41:36]
and leave what he commands you to do and do what he forbids you from doing, because he forbids obedience and commands disobedience.
Yes. This is how Shaytan is dealt with. As for cursing, he is already cursed, and you add nothing to it. Rather, he rejoices and says, "I angered the son of Adam." Yes.
