The answer

The stain seen after sleep has several scenarios:

1. If you are certain it is manī (e.g., due to its odor), then you must perform (ritual bath) from janābah.

2. If you are certain it is madhī, then you must purify it, but ghusl is not required. (Some scholars view slight impurities as forgivable).

3. If you are unsure about the nature of the stain (whether it is manī or madhī), then you have a choice:

If you wish, you may consider it manī and perform ghusl from janābah.

Or, if you wish, you may consider it madhī and purify it from your body and garment.

(This choice is the of the Shāfiʿīs).

What a sleeper sees, in terms of a wet dream (nocturnal emission), could be from Satan or a product of inner thoughts.
