Which is better, the adhan or leading the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, may Allah reward you: What is the ruling on the adhan and leading the prayer, which is better?

Answer:
Both have merit, and both carry reward. A person should do what is feasible for him. If it is feasible for him to be an imam because the people need an imam, he should be their imam. If they need a mu'adhdhin, he should be their mu'adhdhin. Yes.
