What is the meaning of the statement “his sins were wiped away” in the hadith?

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Baz

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
his sins were wiped awayحطّت عنه خطاياه
Is it specific to minor sins?
It is general, provided it is accompanied by repentance and remorse, and the texts interpret one another. That is, one glorifies Allah with repentance and remorse, as stated in the hadith:
The five [daily] prayers, Friday to Friday and Ramadan to Ramadan make atonement for what has happened since the previous one when major sins have been avoided.الصَّلوات الخمس، والجمعة إلى الجمعة، ورمضان إلى رمضان، كفَّارات لما بينهنَّ إذا اجتنب الكبائر
Mishkat al-Masabih 564
, and the texts interpret one another. It is not merely saying “He, He, He” while persisting in evil deeds.
