The author said, "The jinn say, 'I am Muhammad.'" Does this contradict the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Shaytan does not take my form"?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the statement of the author (may Allah have mercy on him) that the jinn say, "I am Muhammad," with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
For indeed the Shaitan can not resemble me.إن الشيطان لا يتمثل بي
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2276Sahih (Darussalam)

Answer:
He does not take his form in appearance. As for saying "I am Muhammad" with his tongue, that does not contradict it. Also, how do you say we reconcile the statement of the author with the hadith of the Messenger? That is not said. It is not said except: how do we reconcile the hadiths of the Messenger? As for the statement of so-and-so, we do not say we reconcile it with the hadith. No. But I understood from the words of the author that regarding the attribution of the most noble one, those who said the hadiths that number in the thousands and lied about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they said that the Messenger said them. This is said: they did not lie, because they cannot take the form of the Messenger. No one said this. Yes.
