Is saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih" (Glory be to Allah and His praise) one hundred times a means of expiating major sins?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is Umm Ahmad from the Noble Makkah, and she says:
Whoever says, 'Glory be to Allah and with His praise' (Subhana'llah wa bi-hamdihi) one hundred times in a day will have his wrong actions taken away from him, even if they are as abundant as the foam on the sea.من قال سبحان الله وبحمده مائة مرة حطت عنه خطاياه وإن كانت مثل زبد البحر
Muwatta Malik 15:23
Does this erase major sins, or only minor ones?

Answer:
If he says it sincerely for Allah the Mighty and Majestic, with his heart present with it, and Allah accepts it from him, then Allah will forgive him his major and minor sins, even if they are like the foam of the sea. Yes.
