Summary
The story is not found in reliable standard works and its status cannot be determined. It is mentioned in al-Nawadir by Ahmad Shihab al-Din al-Qalyubi, but without a chain of narration or sources that allow its authenticity to be assessed. Dutifulness to parents remains an obligation based on Surah al-Isra' verse 23. The ruling advises verifying Israelite-type material with caution and recommends references such as Qasas al-Anbiya' by Ibn Kathir.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
