Answered by 

Shaykh Suhail Motala

Question:

What is status of following narration?

أنا أملح وأخي يوسف أصبح

Answer:

This narration is cited in non primary Hadith sources like Tafsir Mazhari. I have not come across this narration in any primary Hadith source and could therefore not verify the authenticity.

(Tafsir Mazhari, Surah: Yusuf, Verse: 84, vol. 4 pg. 52, ‘ilmiyyah edition. Also see: Al Kawkabud Durri, vol. 4 pg. 172)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
