Question:
If a Muslim is afflicted with sorrow, hardship, or the like, are his sins expiated absolutely?

Minor sins expiate minor sins, but major sins are not expiated except through repentance or through the forgiveness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), provided they are less than shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
