How is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Mu'awiyah is a vagabond reconciled with the fact that Mu'awiyah was one of the great men of Quraysh and became a caliph?

The questioner : How is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Mu'awiyah is a vagabond reconciled with the fact that Mu'awiyah was one of the great men of Quraysh and then became a caliph? How do we reconcile that he was a vagabond and poor when he was one of the masters of Quraysh?

The Shaykh : How is this possible? It is possible that he was one of the great people in terms of lineage, but he did not have wealth, and it is possible that he was provided with wealth later on.
