What is the meaning of "quwwamin" (not clear)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The disagreement regarding the form "fa'al"
quwwamin قوامين
in interpreting it as indicating a relationship or an intensification is the basis for the disagreement among scholars regarding those who visit graves. So what is the criterion for determining which of the two meanings is intended?

The Shaykh : No, those who visit graves are not valid, because it is authentic that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those who visit graves,

The Shaykh : Yes, we interpret it, for example, as Allah the Exalted saying:
And your Lord is not ever unjust to [His] servants. وما ربك بظلام للعبيد
[Fussilat 41:46]
If someone were to say: "Is this an intensification?" The meaning would not be coherent, because then only the intensity of oppression would be negated. If we say it indicates a relationship, it is correct to say that Allah negated the relationship of oppression to Himself, even if it were only once. In any case, there is a context, but if we say, for example, "Do not be a glutton," does the meaning imply "Do not eat at all?" No, it means "Do not eat excessively."
