A muezzin who calls the adhan and also leads the prayer

Imran bin Muslim said: Suwayd said: "If I had the strength to give the adhan myself and lead the prayer myself, I would do so." Imran said: I mentioned this to Mus'ab bin Sa'd, and he said: "It is not part of the sunnah that one and the same man should both give the adhan and lead the prayer."

Nafi' said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used both to give the adhan and to lead the prayer while on a journey.

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Were it not that it would become a sunnah (an established practice), I would give the adhan.
