Do the verses of 36-38 shows that there was someone other than Hz. Adam and Hz. Havva (Eve) when they were expelled from Paradise?

Dear Brother / Sister,
The related verse is as follows:
“Then did Satan make them slip from the (Garden) and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been. We said: "Get ye down all (ye people) with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time."
“Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration and his Lord turned toward him; for He is Oft-Returning Most Merciful.”
“We said: "Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes to you guidance from Me" whosoever follows My guidance on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” (al-Baqara, 2/36-39)
The expression that is stated in these verses “Get ye down all (ye people) with enmity between yourselves.” shows that there is someone/some people other than Hz. Adam and Hz. Hawwa. Scholars say that this one is Satan.
Actually, it is understood that the one who intervened in this event is Satan from the expression stated in the first verse “Then did Satan make them slip from the (Garden)…” Therefore, it is understood that the ones who were expelled to the earth was Hz. Adam, Hawwa and Iblis/Satan.
