حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ بِلَالٌ يُؤَذِّنُ ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُ ، فَإِذَا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ خَرَجَ ، أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ " .
Jabir bin Samurah said: Bilal would call the Adhan, then he used come to wait. When he would see that the prophet ﷺ had come out (of his house), he would pronounce the iqama.

1:
Because the muezzin has been appointed as the guardian of the time of the call to prayer (adhan), therefore, no one has the right to compel him to delay or advance the adhan.
2:
Therefore, without his indication or permission, the iqamah (second call to prayer) should not be pronounced.
