1631. It was narrated that Anas said: “On the day when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered Al-Madinah, everything was lit up, and on the day when he died, everything went dark, and no sooner had we dusted off our hands (after burying him) but we felt that our hearts had changed.”[1] (Hasan)
1631 - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي دَخَلَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ أَضَاءَ مِنْهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ أَظْلَمَ مِنْهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَمَا نَفَضْنَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَيْدِيَ حَتَّى أَنْكَرْنَا قُلُوبَنَا»

The arrival of Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ in Al-Madinah enlightening the city has two meanings; firstly, it is because of the pleasure that the faithful believers had a chance to see the Prophet ﷺ, and also because he came to live among them; secondly, this enlightenment and pleasure is because of the blessings and bounties sent down upon the people of Al-Madinah, because of the reverence of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Similarly, the demise of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ darkens the city of Madinah from both aspects. b. 'Our hearts had changed' also means that due to the end of an important source, the company of the Prophet ﷺ, for increasing faith, it was impossible for the heart to achieve the same satisfactory status as before; despite that, the faith of the Companions was the most perfect and the strongest amongst the people of Muhammad ﷺ.
