Did the adulteress try to flee after the stoning began, and was the Prophet displeased by the people's insistence on continuing to stone her?

The one who was established to have fled during the stoning was Ma'iz ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, not the Ghamidi woman. Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated that Ma'iz confessed to adultery four times to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet asked him, "Are you mad?" and "Are you married?" When he confirmed, the Prophet commanded that he be stoned. Jabir ibn Abdullah reported that he was among those who stoned him, and when the stones hurt him, he fled, so they caught up with him and stoned him.

Ibn Hajar stated that this contains a great virtue for Ma'iz because he persisted in seeking the implementation of the hudud punishment despite his repentance, and exerted himself in that. As for the Prophet's saying, "Why did you not leave him?" it was narrated by Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhi, and others, meaning that if they had left him after his escape, it would have been better for him. Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hajar graded this hadith as hasan (good), and others authenticated it.
