Summary
Hadith Aziz is a type of hadith classified by the number of narrators at the levels of its chain of transmission. Imam al-Baiquniy defined it as narrated by two or three narrators, but the text prefers Ibn Hajar's definition, which is also the majority view, that it is narrated by only two narrators. It may have two narrators at every level of the chain, or two at just one level. Its grade may be sahih, hasan or dhaif depending on the narrators in the chain.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hadith Aziz boleh menjadi sahih, hasan dan juga dhaif berdasarkan kepada perawi-perawi yang terdapat di dalam sanad tersebut.
