Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a supplication for safety from fire?

Answer:
Some people mentioned the takbir, but I do not know of clear evidence for it. However, Ibn al-Qayyim and others mentioned that it is prescribed to say the takbir during a fire, and that it is one of the causes for extinguishing the fire. However, this does not replace the physical means, such as the presence of water or other things used to help extinguish the fire. But if one says the takbir, it is good: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. This is seeking help by magnifying Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), meaning that Allah is greater than this fire and than what caused it.
Q: May Allah reward you. In the libraries, there is "Daw al-Misbah fi Awrad al-Masa' wa al-Sabah" by Shaykh 'Ali ibn Muhammad Hindi. It states this supplication: "O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity but You. Upon You I rely, and You are the Lord of the Mighty Throne. What Allah wills comes to be, and what He does not will does not come to be. There is no power and no strength except by Allah, the Most High, the Mighty. I know that Allah is capable of all things, and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil of every crawling creature, O my Lord, who takes it by its forelock. Indeed, my Lord is on a straight path."
The Shaykh: This is narrated from Abu al-Darda', but it is weak. It is narrated from Abu al-Darda' that it is one of the causes of well-being from everything, from fire and other things, but the hadith is weak.
