Is ghusl obligatory after a wet dream if semen is found?

Noon Emission is a natural phenomenon to get rid of excess semen in the body. It may also be caused by the devil's tampering, and the person is not held accountable for it. Ibn Kathir differentiated between nocturnal emission resulting from the body's overflow and that resulting from the devil's tampering, and that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is immune from the devil's tampering. There is no need to worry about nocturnal emission. Whoever finds semen after waking up must perform , otherwise not.
