Which is better: the role of the mu'adhdhin or the role of the imam?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Which is better, the role of the mu'adhdhin or the role of the imam?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) took on the role of imam, and whatever the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) took on is better. Some scholars say that the adhan is better, but if you look at the fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one who took on the role of imam, then the imam is better. The imam is a guarantor, and the mu'adhdhin is one who is trusted.
