What the ordinary acts wipe out
Hudhayfah was asked who remembered him saying it.
فِتْنَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَجَارِهِ تُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلاَةُ وَالصَّوْمُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ وَالأَمْرُ وَالنَّهْىُ
Fitnatu-r-rajuli fī ahlihi wa mālihi wa waladihi wa jārihi tukaffiruhā-ṣ-ṣalātu wa-ṣ-ṣawmu wa-ṣ-ṣadaqatu wa-l-amru wa-n-nahy
A man's trial in his family, his wealth, his child and his neighbour is wiped out by the prayer, the fasting, the charity, and enjoining good and forbidding wrong.
Where this comes from
Umar asked who had memorised it. Hudhayfah said he had, and Umar said: you are bold. The four things named as trials are the four things a person is most attached to, and none of them are removed. They are covered over.
The full narration

I said, 'I know it as the Prophet (ﷺ) had said it.' `Umar said, 'No doubt you are bold.' I said, 'The afflictions caused for a man by his wife, money, children and neighbor are expiated by his prayers, fasting, charity and by enjoining (what is good) and forbidding (what is evil).' `Umar said, 'I did not mean that but I asked about that affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I (Hudhaifa) said, 'O leader of the faithful believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it.' `Umar asked, Will the door be broken or opened?' I replied, 'It will be broken.' `Umar said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' I was asked whether `Umar knew that door. I replied that he knew it as one knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated a Hadith that was free from any misstatement" The subnarrator added that they deputized Masruq to ask Hudhaifa (about the door). Hudhaifa said, "The door was `Umar himself
