Safari can’t be deleted, so go to the App Library (the last page of the Home screen) and drag it back to wherever you want it. You probably put the phone in your pocket while it was unlocked, and with the screen facing your body, and your body hit the icon move or delete function. So in the future always lock the phone before putting it against your body, and always put it away with the screen away from your body. And preferably in a case.
