My silence on this issue is for two major reasons:
1. Dr. Abdul-Jabbar aka Dan tamore was a scholar and I'm not qualified to judge him. 2. I feel like his impact is neglible on Twitter
But for now, I am obliged to air my views on this issue because:
1. You asked, and RasulaLlah (s) has forbidden us from hiding whatever little knowledge we have. 2. Dan tamore respects no one, and hence doesn't deserve any respect. 3. We MUST defend the honor of our faith.
Dr. Abdul-Jabbar was a Kano scholar. "Was" because now, all that he was taught has evaporated into the ether and he has started to preach his personal opinion.
He recites a hadith, twist its meaning, add his own words, then blame Imam Buhari, Muslim or a companion for such.
Then he comes out to say he is trying to defend the honor of the Prophet by doing so.
There are instances where he mentions insultive words (that I cannot mention here), NOT mentioned in the Matn of Ahadith, then he says these were used on the Prophet (s), which is not true.
He has been refuted times and on by his elder brother, the Khalifa of Shaykh Nasir Kabara, Shaykh Qariballah, scores of his own students, salafiyya scholars and Tijaniyyah scholars alike.
A book was written in his refutation by Shaykh Abubakar Madatai titled (رقع الأثواب).
He has been invited countless times to a debate (muqabala) to defend his views but he refuses to entertain any open discussions.
As of now, he does nothing else but insult the Prophet, his companions and scholars of Sunnah all year round.
I have several videos and audios of him, but I don't want to post them because I don't want to offend any of you by his constant unintelligent arguments.
Between Cleansing Mistakes and Destroying the Sunnah? He is definitely doing the latter.
He is a mole in Qadriyyah and his elder brother has said this more times than I can count.
He is not even a member of Sunnah, so how can he cleanse Sunnah?
What he is doing by attacking ahadith & scholars of Sunnah is only similar to what the shi'is do, & with my eyes, I've seen his picture placed side by side with that of Shaykh Zakzaky by some Shi'ah members in Bauchi state on January 4th 2021.
Shi'ism is obvious in his actions.
He has said several times that he has nothing to do with Ahlussunnah, therefore he and his followers have nothing to do with the same Sunnah, nor with Sidi Abdul Qadir Jaylaani.
Paying attention to him is like paying attention to Khomeini (no offense intended). Or even worse.
I was once asked by someone in the dm about Anas bn Malik (r) and whether or not he was a Sahabi. In response, I asked the questioner "if he was not a Sahabi, what would you gain?". He was quiet.
All the things Dan Tamore is teaching is of absolutely zero benefit to our Iman.
Although, the way he presents his argument will definitely appeal to the emotions of any lover of RasuluLlah (s), but what he translates are deliberately wrong.
Therefore, I recommend you to hold on to what benefits you more. May Allah rid us off moles like him, Amin.

Here's a compilation of all Parts (1-40) of Biography of RasulaLlah salla Llahu 'alayhi was salam. You can find all the parts with the hashtag, in sha Allah.
I begin this chapter with the statement of Sh. Yusuf Nabahani (r) in Anwarul Muhammadiyya: "had death been Makruh, it would not have touched the Prophet (s)".
1/15
If this world was to be permanent to anyone, it would have been Rasulullah (s).
On his last day, whilst the Muslims were performing Fajr lead by Sayyidna Abubakar (r), the Prophet (s) drew curtains of Nana 'Aishah's room, looked at them and smiled cheerfully.
2/15
Understand, esteemed reader, that he was so handsome, he was dripping light, looking young (like in his 40s); the companions were so glad to see his face that they almost enraptured in their prayers. He made a gesture that they should continue their prayers & went inside.
The Prophet (s) was sick for a total of 13/14 days starting from end of Safar, year 11 AH. He used to pray in the Masjid until his sickness prevented him from doing so.
1/14
Despite being very ill, he was conveyed to the Masjid by Fadl bn Abbas & Ali bn Abi Taalib.
Whenever he couldn't make it to the Masjid, he used to instruct his friend, Abubakar to lead the prayers.
On that Thursday, he went to the Masjid & mounted on his pulpit.
2/14
He gave a sermon inter alia:
"O people! The time has arrived when I should leave you. If I have made a promise with anyone I am prepared to fulfil it, and if I owe something to somebody, he should speak out, so that I may make payment to him".
Brother you wrote me quite a long reply, may Allah strengthen you. In the beginning, you tried to deny the fact that you made the assertion that Sufis were weak in Hadith, despite it being the very first statement in your original thread.
Then later you went on to berate me and my method of research, in what rather seems like an erry attempt at concluding on an issue you don't even know about. It is customary of your methods to make assumptions about others, so I'm least suprised you turned out this way.
Then you went on to explain that this wasn't your view, but that of the Salaf. So I wish to ask you five questions;
1- what was the greatest challenge Wahb bn Isma'il faced when he began to compile the Hadith and those who presented this challenge were they Sufis or non Sufis?
"من لم يحفظ القرآن، ولم يكتب الحديث، لا يقتدي به في هذا الأمر لأن علمنا هذا مقيد بالكتاب والسنة"
"Whoever does not memorize the Qur'an nor writes Hadith should not be followed in this matter because our knowledge is restricted to the Qur’an and Sunnah".
This is the statement of Imam at Ta-ifa, Junaid al Baghdadi (298H d.) who is regarded worldwide as the leader of Sufis, as recorded in Risalatul Qushayri.
It is a people who are more deserving of defining their knowledge and their fields with sincerity than their foes.
Sufis are known worldwide for their obsession with knowledge and wisdom. Sufis have been memorizing, teaching, transmitting and transporting Islamic knowledge from continent to continent and this is a known fact.
Saying Sufis are weak in hadith is ignorantly unfair.
