The seventh matter: Was grave worship present during the time of the Salaf-us-Saalih and the golden generations, because we find what's been relayed from them being a little, regarding clarifying that the grave worshippers are Mushriks?

I say seeking aid with Allah:

What has went overlooked upon many that write or speak on this topic is that grave worship wasn't present during the golden eras; the era of the Companions and the Taab'is and their followers (1), after Shirk and its traces were wiped out the main Jaahilliyah (pre-Islamic with the sending of the Prophet ﷺ. Then Companions then after him, and those that came after them from the golden generations upheld the establishment of the Tawheed of Allah in all lands they ruled over, and the righteous predecessors got rid of anything which went against Tawheed and protected what related to it.

Until what the Prophet ﷺ warned his nation from took place after him, of returning to the start of the worshipping of idols (2); which was grave worship, and taking it as an idol (3), and what the Companions (4) and the Salaf after them unanimously agreed upon -even if it didn't occur in their era- that the perpetrator of this of from the people of clear-cut Shirk.

As a people came after them, from the people of Rafdh (Raafidah) and the Heretics, and those that have went their way of the worship of graves and the Awliya, at the end of of the third century, and they were the first who innovated the Shirk with the graves and the Awliya which contradicts Tawheed, intending to exchange the religion -after the idolatry was wiped away- with what they surpassed the first Mushriks in (5).

1) The statement of Imam Muhammad bin Abdulwahaab, may Allah have mercy upon him, has preceded in the first volume (p.17), has come in relaying the Consensus that the grave worshippers, and others who worship other than Allah, of those that attribute to Islam -regardless if their object of worship was an angel or a prophet or a wali or a grave or a Jin or a stone-: have the verses which contain the ruling of the first Mushriks and their Takfeer, applied upon them, and that the benefit is with the generality of the wording, and not with the specific reason it was revealed, and that the benefit also is with the realities not with mere attributions by name to Islam whilst nullifying its reality, but [when the hearts become blind from knowing the truth, and from applying what Allah has revealed in what relates the Mushriks, upon those that do their action. And tread upon their path, so there is no deception in this]. Look in <Kashfu Ghayaahib...> (p.195) by the Allaamah Suleiman bin Sahmaan, may Allah have mercy upon him.
2) As it comes in Bukhari (no.4920) on the authority of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, regarding the statement of the most high:

(وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا)
"And they have said: ‘You shall not leave your gods: nor shall you leave Wadd, nor Suwa‘, nor Yaghuth, nor Ya‘uq nor Nasr’ (these are the names of their idols)".
[Nuh:23]

He said: "These are names of righteous men from the people of Nuuh...". Until the end of Hadith.
Shaykh-Ul-Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: "Groups from the Companions, and the Tabi's, said: They used to be righteous folk from the people of Nuuh, when they died they dedicated to their graves and as time passed, they made pictures of them, and this was the start of the worshipping of idols". <Jaami'ul-Masaa'il> (5/368-369).
3) As it comes in Sahih Muslim (no.532) on the authority of Jundub bin Abdillah, Marfuu': "Those that came before you used to take the graves of their Prophets as Masjids, so don't take the graves as Masjids, for indeed I forbid you from this".
And on the authority of Ibn Mas'uud, may Allah be pleased with him, Marfuu': "Indeed the most wicked of the people are those who the hour strikes upon whilst they are alive, and those who take the graves as Masjids".
