Explanation of the author's statement: And Ibn al-Qayyim said: More than one of the Salaf said: (When they died, they stayed at their graves, then they made images of them

The Shaykh :"And Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:" More than one of the Salaf said: When they died, they stayed at their graves, then they made images of them, then time passed for them and they worshipped them " ". This is like the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas, except that Ibn 'Abbas says that they placed the idols in their gathering places, whereas here he says they placed them at their graves, on their graves... They made this and that; they made this in the graves and in the gathering places, or perhaps they were buried in their gathering places, so the gathering places would be in the place of the graves. The point is his statement: "then time passed for them and they worshipped them".
Al-Imd: the long period of time, the long time until they worshipped them instead of Allah.
So the cause of their worship, then, was the excess in their regard for these righteous people until they worshipped them.
