I would suggest that you have a look online for suggestions on how to recognise a narcissist.
Maybe my suspicions are wrong and you'll find that your father doesn't meet any of the criteria of narcissism, but don't be surprised if you can tick off most of the boxes on the list. If it does seem that he is indeed a narcissist, there are sites with suggestions on how to deal with a narcissistic parent.
In any case, I would suggest that you go along with your mother's request. You may believe you know your father well, but it's very likely she knows him better than you do.
