Allah asked the angels to fulfil His promise with them 
and to accomplish the pledge of His injunction to them by acknowledging Him through prostration to Him 
and submission to His honored status.
So Allah said: “Prostrate to Adam, so they prostrated except Iblis (Satan). (citations; Holy Quran, 2: 34; 7: 11; 17: 61; 18: 50; 20: 116). 
Self-importance withheld him and vice overcame him.
So that he took pride in his own creation with fire and treated the creation of clay contemptuously.
So Allah allowed him time in order to let him fully deserve His wrath and to complete (man’s) test and to fulfil the promise (He had made to Satan).
Thus, He said: “Verily you have been allowed time till the known Day. (citations; Holy Quran, 15: 38, 38: 81).
