Short Description
The sins that are mentioned in this Hadeeth are the minor sins not the grave major ones as the grave major sins are forgiven through repentance.
It was narrated on the authority of Abu Qataadah 
that the Prophet 
said: "I seek from Allaah that fasting the Day of ‘Arafah would atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming year, and I seek from Allaah that fasting the Day of ‘Aashooraa’ (i.e. tenth of Muharram) would atone for the sins of the preceding year." [Muslim]
that the Prophet said: "I seek from Allaah that fasting the Day of ‘Arafah would atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming year, and I seek from Allaah that fasting the Day of ‘Aashooraa’ (i.e. tenth of Muharram) would atone for the sins of the preceding year." [Muslim]When explaining this Hadeeth, An-Nawawi 
said that this Hadeeth means the sins of the fasting person during these two years. Some scholars said that this Hadeeth means the minor sins. This has been previously clarified when referring to the sins that the ablution atones for. We mentioned there that if there are no minor sins, then hopefully the grave major sins will be alleviated, and if there are no grave major sins, then one’s rank would be elevated.
