أَهْلُ people of
A noun, 'people of', the head of 'people of the Sunnah' and the doer of 'said'. It gives up any 'the' of its own and draws definiteness from the owner-noun that follows, naming the Sunni party.

أَهْلِهِ his family
A noun with a 'his' suffix on the end, carrying both 'family/people' and its owner in one word. It sits in the 'of'-style ending because the preposition before it governs it. The 'his' points back to the man, naming the family he returned to.
