Commentary for Menachot 71:9

אמר רב נחמן הלכה כרבי יעקב רב חסדא ורבה בר רב הונא מצלו בהו באורתא איכא דאמרי אין הלכה כר' יעקב

Until sunset. R'Jacob said, Until every foot has left the market.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., after darkness has fallen.');"><sup>10</sup></span> But the Sages say, Until the time when people go to sleep. The Sages and<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So in many MSS. and in Alfasi, and so Sh. Mek. Cur. edd. read ' (admit) to R. Jacob'.');"><sup>11</sup></span> R'Jacob, however, admit that if a man took them off in order to enter a privy or a bath-house and in the meantime the sun had set, he has not to put them on again. R'Nahman said, The halachah agrees with R'Jacob, since R'Hisda and Rabbah B'R'Huna used to say the evening prayer while still wearing them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Hence they are worn after sunset.');"><sup>12</sup></span> Another version reads: R'Nahman said, The halacha does not agree with R'Jacob.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But the halachah follows the first Tanna's view that the tefillin are to be taken off at sunset (Tosaf.) .');"><sup>13</sup></span>

Tosafot on Menachot

If he did not talk he says one blessing, if he talked he says two - Rashi explains: If he did not talk he says one blessing - for both that of the hand and that of the head. If he talked, he says two blessings - "To lay the Tefillin" for that of the hand, and "concerning the precept of Tefillin" for that of the head. But Rabbeinu Tam explained: If he did not talk, he says one blessing - On that of the head he says (only one blessing) for that of the head: "Concerning the precept of tefillin," because that is its blessing. If he spoke he says two blessings - for that of the head: "to lay" and "concerning the precept of." And it is also written like this in the Shimusha Rabba D'Tfillin. This is the teaching of my teacher and master.
