ahl can mean tent or family.....so i'm taking an educated guess here.

musbih may also mean : "come into being" , but i tried to retain its other sense of "to enter upon morning"

when death is closer than the strap of his sandal.'
The sahaba who said this was Abu Bakr(RA).
The whole narration is:
'A'isha said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Madina, Abu Bakr and Bilal came down with a fever. I visited them and asked, 'Father, how are you? Bilal, how are you?' When Abu Bakr's fever worsened, he said:

'Every man is struck down among his people in the morning,
when death is closer than the strap of his sandal.'

It's not my translation, of course. The source is cited below. The translation is by Aisha Bewley, who is a very well-known translator of Islamic books and texts in the UK.

Response to Nesrin\'s question:
The translation above is not my own but the general translation used of this hadith in English as it appears in the English translations of Sahih Al-Bukhari and the Muwatta of Imam Malik. I also believe that I was wrong in ascribing the translation to Aisha Bewley as my hard copy of the English translation of the Muwatta uses the above translation and is pretty old (20 years +).
I believe that \"struck down [...] in the morning\" is used to convey some of the many meanings of the verb \"AS-Ba-Ha), which as given in Hans Wehr are: to enter upon the morning, happen in the morning, get to a situation, reach a state.
Of course, a hadith is hard to explain without circumstancial information and I would also personally never attempt to translate a hadith myself; thus, the original translator knows best what they meant by their choice of words.

This is just a comment. I agree with Umsarah's translation. You can also say "rise in the morning", "starts the day", or "begins a new day", etc. for مصبح.

As Umsarah explained, Ab-Bakr (radia Allahu anhu) indicates that death is always near, but there is a deeper explanation to this hadith or athar.

Abu-Bakr, who lived all his life in Mecca and was attached to it like may of the Muhajerin, fell ill as soon as he arrived in Medina with the "ailment of Medinah" داء المدينة that was well-known, some say it was malarya. Anyway, in these verses, Abu-Bakr was lamenting being away from Mecca and not being among his people. Especially while sick, it was also a reflection on the possibility of dying away from home and from his people.

Writes of sirah use this to show how even for companions like Abu-Bakr and Bilal who were ready to do anything for the prophet (s) and Islam, and who rejoiced when he was chosen to be the travel companion for he prophet in his migtation, even for him the migration from Mecca was a major sacrifice with a heavy sentimental toll.
