Tafsir of the Ayah 100 of suratul Yusuf in Ma'ariful Quran:

"And he raised his parents up on the throne, and they all
fell before him in prostration. And he said, "My father,
here is the fulfillment of my early dream. My Lord has
made it come true. He favoured me when he released me
from the prison and brought you from the countryside
after Satan had caused a rift between me and my brothers.
Surely, my Lord does what He wills, in a subtle way.
Surely, He is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise." [100]

After that it was said: وَخَرُّوا لَهُ سُجَّدًا, (and they all fell before him in prostration), that is, the parents, and all brothers did sajdah before
Sayyidina Yusuf (as) Sayyidina 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas (ra) has said that this prostration of gratitude was for Allah Ta'ala, and not for Sayyidina Yusuf(as). Others have said that a Sajdah or Sujud (prostration) as part of 'Ibadah (worship) when done for anyone other than Allah has always been forbidden in the Shariah of every prophet. But, the Sajdah of Tazim (veneration) was permissible in the religious codes of past prophets - which has been prohibited in the Shariah of Islam on the basis that it is a source of Shirk. This is confirmed by Hadith reports from Al-Bukhari and Muslim that Sajdah (prostration) for anyone other than Allah is not Halal.
